Veteran management consultant and trainer David Allen recognizes that ""time management"" is useless the minute your schedule is interrupted; ""setting priorities"" isn't relevant when your email is down; ""procrastination solutions"" won't help if your goals aren't clear.

Allen's premise is simple: our ability to be productive is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve stress-free productivity and unleash our creative potential. He teaches us how to:

• Apply the ""do it, delegate it, defer it, drop it"" rule to get your in-box empty

• Reassess goals and stay focused in changing situations

• 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 has the potential to transform the way you work -- and the way you experience work. At any level of implementation, David Allen's entertaining and thought-provoking advice shows you how to pick up the pace without wearing yourself down.
