Work: Anything that exists in your world that you look at and "wish" was different from current reality. In that case, most of what we see around us could be considered work; in today's world, it seems to be work that necessitates knowledge. How much we know, and how we apply that information is the cutting edge between high productivity and burn-out.
Real advice for real ??knowledge workers.?? Do you feel overwhelmed by the ??problem?? of infinite opportunity? How good could that next project be? How prepared for that meeting could your direct report be? When do you stop working on one project in light of the value-add that would come in beginning another?
For those of you with ??too much to do, and not enough time to do it in,?? productivity guru (as Fast Company magazine has labeled him) David Allen provides a no-nonsense, fire-tested system that will make sense of your open loops. The Getting Things Done methodology offers a practical yet elegant solution to staying on top of your work, whether it??s a personal project like landscaping your yard, to that new B2B site that you??re launching next week.
David Allen's approach to managing yourself and your world may well be the best advice you'll ever receive. Included are tips and tricks that lead the readers toward learning, practicing and developing techniques for improving personal productivity and individual satisfaction. The behavior sets you practice will prove useful, and add a ??sustainable?? element to your work/life style. Buy this book, read it, and watch your productivity AND energy go up!
