I REALLY enjoyed this book. I implemented the system a few weeks ago. I put EVERYTHING in my office in my Inbox to be processed. My husband walked in and asked "What are you doing?!!" "Getting organized!" I replied. He was dubious. "Well that is not what it looks like," he shrugged. Three weeks later I feel so much more in control of my workload, my personal errands and my someday goals. Thanks to this system I haven't woken up in a dead sweat worried that I forgot to do something.

It does take some discipline. I now spend at least an hour on Sunday getting organized, adding items to my calendar and thinking about my top priorities for the week. The calendar tip had the most WOW factor for me. Once I started treating it as SACRED space, I was able to limit the number of action items I placed there making it much more efficient for me. I actually am able to accomplish everything on my daily list now.

Great book. Highly recommend for the "list makers" of the world.

I was hoping for more details for the day to day use of the system. The book did provide tips on how to layout the GTD system in Evernote - that is true. All of the tags just seemed really daunting to me - how do you remember to tag each item with all of the categories? When do you change tags from one category to the next? If you have a lot of items to do in a given day - how do you prioritize them with this system? It just seems to be a little too lose for me.

Got me set up using GTD on Evernote in no time at all! Not sure I would have known what I was doing if I wasn't already familiar with David Allen's Getting Things Done, and with basic Evernote, but I have learned some new stuff about Evernote and am now getting more out of it than ever before. Didn't think I could use it for this, and am very pleasantly surprised.

If you want quick tips on how to actually implement GTD, particularly with digital tools, this is a great book. Many of these tips can be applied to apps other than Evernote, though Wolff does have another book specific to OneNote as well.

This book was okay. I read this halfway though reading the David Allen book. I was really hoping this book would give more tips on using Evernote features. I didn't really feel like I learned much for this book. My time was better spent on the David Allen book and then I am going to try this one instead....https://secure.davidco.com/store/cata...

I expected more from this. Lots of preamble, and then a very short how to. Not the best book. http://www.thesecretweapon.org/ has a much better step-by-step with videos - and it's free.

This one felt like it wasn't quite finished.

I like the flow chart in the appendices, though. That's a good reference.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was easy to read but not very detailed. I wanted to read this since I had Evernote downloaded on my Kindle. It did make me enthusiastic about using the program. But other than that it did nothing for me.
