Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

by David Allen

In today's world, yesterday's methods just don't work. In Getting Things Done, veteran coach and management consultant David Allen shares the breakthrough methods for stress-free performance that he has introduced to tens of thousands of people across the country. Allen's premise is simple: our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve effective productivity and unleash our creative potential. In Getting Things Done Allen shows how to:

* Apply the "do it, delegate it, defer it, drop it" rule to get your in-box to empty
* Reassess goals and stay focused in changing situations
* Plan projects as well as get them unstuck
* Overcome feelings of confusion, anxiety, and being overwhelmed
* Feel fine about what you're not doing

From core principles to proven tricks, Getting Things Done can transform the way you work, showing you how to pick up the pace without wearing yourself down.

[Frank]

책의 원래 제목에서 따 GTD 방법론이라는 이름이 있을 정도로 Life Hack 분야에서 유명한 글. 다만 이 책의 내용을 그대로 따르는 것은 아무래도 무리가 있다. 내용이 지나치게 장황하여 결국 한국어 번역판에서 저자가 각 chapter마다 요약한 것을 읽기만 해도 충분하다.

이 분야에서 유명한 책이니 읽어볼 필요가 있지만, 자신의 상황과 필요에 맞게 변형하게 적용해야 한다.

한국어 역자는 그 유명한 ‘자유기업원’의 초대 소장 및 원장을 지내신 분이시다.
