Un libro costruito attorno a una checklist. O poco più. Buon senso utile, ma allungato oltre misura e "abbellito" con citazioni stucchevoli. A mio avviso, sopravvalutato. ( )

I bought this book, and I read some of it. It sat on a shelf unfinished. I read some more. It sat in my car unfinished. I eventually made the decision to never finish it.

I think this is self-explanatory.

[Edit at a later date:]

Now I'm reading 26 Reasons Not to Use GTD, and it does a good job of articulating the "ehhhh"ness that I felt while reading this.

[Edit at an even later date:]

And if you think GTD's followers are a little cult-like (see, for instance, the angry comments on this review), check this out: When David Allen says in the acknowledgments "deepest thanks go to my spiritual coach, J-R", he's talking about a man named John-Roger "the Mystical Traveler", who believes he is a reincarnation of Jesus, St. Francis of Assisi, and Abraham Lincoln. Allen is a minister in his Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness church. Yup. ( )

I read this book about 14 years ago, not long after it was first published. Just re-read it, in a newer 2015 edition. I love a lot of his techniques, they’ve been super-valuable to me. And I like bits and pieces of his writing. But some parts are really cliche-ridden and the book as a whole seemed poorly organized. ( )

Some great advice here. There are a few things I'd like to put into practice. However the book was a struggle to get through, some of it was fairly tedious and some of it just felt like waffle. Like I said, some great comments but I feel I could have written the same book in a lot less pages ( )

Personally seeing the title of the book it creates a good formation about i just love it from my perspective.
