"The Bible of business and personal productivity" —Lifehack

"A completely revised and updated edition of the blockbuster bestseller from 'the personal productivity guru'"—Fast Company

Since it was first published almost fifteen years ago, David Allen’s Getting Things Done has become one of the most influential business books of its era, and the ultimate book on personal organization. “GTD” is now shorthand for an entire way of approaching professional and personal tasks, and has spawned an entire culture of websites, organizational tools, seminars, and offshoots.

Allen has rewritten the book from start to finish, tweaking his classic text with important perspectives on the new workplace, and adding material that will make the book fresh and relevant for years to come. This new edition of Getting Things Done will be welcomed not only by its hundreds of thousands of existing fans but also by a whole new generation eager to adopt its proven principles.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“I am a devout, card-carrying GTD true believer. . . . The entire approach has boosted not only my productivity but also my wider well-being. But what amazes me just as much is how deeply GTD has taken hold around the world. . . . This is a genuine movement.”
—Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive

“Getting Things Done offers help building the new mental skills needed in an age of multitasking and overload.”
—Sue Shellenbarger, The Wall Street Journal

“I recently attended David’s seminar on getting organized, and after seeing him in action I have hope. . . . David Allen’s seminar was an eye-opener.”
—Stewart Alsop, Fortune

“Allen drops down from high-level philosophizing to the fine details of time management. Take a minute to check this one out.”
—Mark Henricks, Entrepreneur

“David Allen’s productivity principles are rooted in big ideas . . . but they’re also eminently practical.”
—Keith H. Hammonds, Fast Company

“David Allen brings new clarity to the power of purpose, the essential nature of relaxation, and deceptively simple guidelines for getting things done. He employs extensive experience, personal stories, and his own recipe for simplicity, speed, and fun.”
—Frances Hesselbein, chairman, board of governors, Leader to Leader Institute

“Anyone who reads this book can apply this knowledge and these skills in their lives for immediate results.”
—Stephen P. Magee, chaired professor of business and economics, University of Texas at Austin

“A true skeptic of most management fixes, I have to say David’s program is a winner!”
—Joline Godfrey, CEO, Independent Means, Inc., and author of Our Wildest Dreams

“Getting Things Done describes an incredibly practical process that can help busy people regain control of their lives. It can help you be more successful. Even more important, it can help you have a happier life!”
—Marshall Goldsmith, coeditor, The Leader of the Future and Coaching for Leadership

“WARNING: Reading Getting Things Done can be hazardous to your old habits of procrastination. David Allen’s approach is refreshingly simple and intuitive. He provides the systems, tools, and tips to achieve profound results.”
—Carola Endicott, director, Quality Resources, New England Medical Center

Buy the first edition, it's 100 times better!

ByFrankon July 17, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I read the first edition a few years ago and gave copies to everyone on my team. It was very actionable. This 2015 edition is not that.

This new edition goes into more theory, but that makes it much harder to use as a concise guide of how to get things done.

I loved the first edition, but the 2015 edition was tedious to read and I didn't have the patience to get through it. Too bad he ruined a good thing. It would have been better if he'd added a companion book with all the non-actionable theory, or separate chapters.

Organizing my organizational systems

ByDerekon October 16, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Too many times in life we try to self organize by piecing together various productivity methods together to make our own Frankenstein's Monster of an organizational system.

That was me.

After reading GTD, I'm ditching all other methods and choosing just this one. David Allen's methodology to a productive life and clear mind is timeless. In this updated edition he addresses how to incorporate technology in your productivity.

GTD is the only method for me!

Excellent Revision -- GTD Challenging but Worth it

BySkepticmanon November 26, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Great book and I'm still digesting all the information as it is not the easiest terminology to consume. I've been an avid GTD'er for 4-5 years listening to every audio book and all GTD David Co. materials as well. I continually "fall off the wagon", but GTD really is the best approach for productivity and time management.

Life Changing

ByJohn Oswaldon June 12, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I've been intuitively, haphazardly following some random and frequently changing time/task/life management system for decades. This book changed my life in a very good way. Threw away my Franklin, several separate tracking systems (notes, spreadsheets, etc.). I looked at several different implementation systems for my computer and iPhone - landed on Toodledo, which is working well. There are others that are probably just as good or better but it's working for me. This system makes perfect sense and helps eliminate mental clutter and has actually helped me Get Things Done.

I liked the outlook on the topic

ByVictor Won April 2, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This wa a little more in depth that GTD with real world examples. I enjoyed the stories. Only the format of the Penguin press book kept me from finding and finishing the book earlier as they have copious notes and references at the end extending the finish longer that it needs to be and did not hit the end of the book for fear of missing something more important.

Great system, wish everyone knew this!

ByNicoon March 4, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Allen`s system is s great way of breaking down thoughts in to actions, and really learning how to apply common sense to everyday stressful scenarios. Having a clear mind is the ultimate goal and I think these methods, when applied properly can really achieve that sense of calm. My reason for giving it 4 stars out of 5 is that it is a little too repetitive and lengthy.

My mind set already shifted while reading the first segment and I'm doing things differently. I'm now buying this book as a must have for my executive coaching clients.
