Getting things done : the art of stress-free productivity / David Allen.
David Allen's Getting Things Done was hailed as "the definitive business self-help book of the decade (Time) when it was first published, and "GTD" has since become shorthand for an entire culture of personal organization that offers to change the way people work and live. Allen's methods of stress-free performance at work and in life have a simple premise: our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Now he has tweaked his original text with important perspectives on the new workplace and additional material to help build the mental skills needed in an age of multitasking and overload. Getting Things Done will teach you to apply the "do it, delegate it, defer it, drop it" rule to get your in-box empty; reassess goals and stay focused in changing situations; plan and unstick projects; overcome feelings of confusion, anxiety, and being overwhelmed; and feel fine about what you're NOT doing.
