I've been listening to David Allen's Ready for Anything this week along with Getting Things Done - his first book. One comment that he made in Ready for Anything summarizes why I like his approach so much. He said that some of the best projects he has created were never on his lists. He has very detailed lists of action items, projects and his reference material is extremely organized. Getting organized is similar to both feng shui and yoga in that what you get out of it is not necessarily limited to the meager benefits that you were expecting. When you are organized you can take advantage of unexpected opportunities, you have more creativity, and you can handle any setbacks you experience with power.

a collection of his writings/blog posts about his Getting Things Done system, some very practical, some inspiring. I've read it a number of times. ( )

This book might've been more useful had I not already pored through the bigger GTD websites and got my hands on the old, out-of-print Getting Things Done Fast audios. ( )

Good, but only marginally expands upon the original GTD release. Many topics revisited. ( )

A bunch of vignettes, each illustrating one principle of productivity. I think he'd secretly prefer us to liken them koans, but that's just pushing it. ( )
