Winning at the Game of Work and the Business of Life

Making it All Work

Organizational zen. Allen wrote a magnificent book "Getting Things Done" which dives into the process of tying up loose ends, and getting your life free of mental clutter. It's such a great book, even Allen alludes to it's success. It's the place to start with Allen, but "Winning at the Game of Work and Business of Life" is no minor work. What stands out is a 2x2 box showing how perception and process, looking at it as a spectrum. For some, we get very caught up in ideas of organization, and have grand plans from pleasure to the nitty gritty trenches of work. Of course, some people get caught in process, always using the tools, but never getting the mindset to move toward their goals. Allen's book itself is masterfully laid out. There is enough gold here to help anyone shape up. A lovely, quick read, and reminder that these skills can be of use to anyone.

Getting Things Done changed my life, so I was glad to review GTD again with this book that reviews and expands on it. 

Allen claims that those new to GTD could start here but I'm sceptical of that; I'd recommend new comers start with Getting Things Done as it's simpler and says more about the basics 

For those of us already familiar then this great for expanding on and rethinking GTD. In particular I feel a better understanding of the higher, strategic levels. The appendices are a great reference tool and will be near my desk.
