My favorite time/task management system so far that happened to fit rather well with what I was already doing. His insights that I never thought of and really helped me take it to the next level:
1. Mark even small tasks as projects and keep a separate "next actions list."
2. Keep a separate "waiting for" list (instead of in the main list).
3. Location-based list views (errands, office, home, etc.)
Highly recommend this one if you have a lot going on and want to get organized.

Ha ha. I remember this book. We had to memorize part of the prologue for the book in old English. That was fun. I still remember about half of it:
Whan that Aprill with his shoures sote
The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote,
And bathed euery veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth
Inspired hath in euery holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe course yronne,
And smale fowles maken melodye,
That slepen al the niȝt with open ye—
So priketh hem Nature in hir corages—
Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
To ferne halwes, couthe in sondry londes;
And specially, from euery shires ende
Of Engelond to Caunterbury they wende,
The holy blissful martir for to seke,
That hem hath holpen, whan that they were seke.
*****************
Translation
When April with its sweet showers has pierced
the drought of March to the root,
and bathed every vein in such liquor
from whose power the flower is engendred;
when Zephyr [the west wind] also, with his sweet breath
has blown [into life] in every wood and heath
the tender crops, and the young sun
has run his half-course in the sign of the Ram [Aries],
and small fowls make melody,
who sleep all night with open eye
- so Nature stimulates them in their hearts
- THEN people long to go on pilgrimages,
and palmers [pilgrims carrying palm leaves] to seek strange coastlines,
to distant saints [holy places], known in various lands;
and specially, from every shire's end [from every county]
in England, to Canterbury they journey,
to seek the holy blissful martyr [Thomas à Becket]
who helped them when they were sick. ...less

"Poorly written and a little too focused on gruesome criminals, but worth the read for the good stuff.
My copy is a large hardcover.
