"An excellent system for making sure things get done. Anyone who aspires to be a high-capacity person would do well to implement a system like this. My only complaint about the book is that it's a little laborious. He addresses every minute little detail, which makes the book very long."

However I thought it was a bit too basic when I started reading it, but as I progressed though it, there were several nuggets that made it a worthwhile read. The concept of "next Action Steps" is a powerful one which I have now adopted "
