The companion to the blockbuster bestseller, Getting Things Done. Since its publication in 2001, Getting Things Done has become, as Time magazine put it, "the defining self-help business book" of the decade. Having inspired millions of readers around the world, it clearly spoke to an urgent need in an increasingly time-pressured society. Now, in the highly anticipated sequel Making It All Work, Allen unlocks the full power of his methods across the entire span of life and work. While Getting Things Done functioned as an essential tool kit, Making It All Work is an invaluable road map, providing both bearings to help you determine where you are in life and directions on how to get to where you want to go.

"This book was a good refresher to what I gleaned from my earlier exposure to David Allen's Getting Things Done. I don't think I could sit through reading this book: it's good material but rather drawn out. But I did find it worthwhile to listen to while cleaning up around the house. You don't catch everything, but I caught enough to take some notes that I'm now in the process of applying." — Michael (4 out of 5 stars)

“Allen reads his new book in a calm and convincing tone.”
" A considerably less buzz-wordy and more thoughtful version of Allen's original "Getting Things Done." "
" A good complement to Getting Things Done. Read GTD first and if it's helpful spend some time implementing the process before reading this one. Otherwise you won't get the most out of it. "
" This book was a good follow up to Getting Things Done. The book gives more details and more advice on implementing GTD. "
" Excellent follow-up read to "Getting Things Done". "
" Another good book from David Allen, and if you haven't been to a seminar from DavidCo then I definitely recommend reading. "
" A followup to Getting Things Done, Making It All Work goes into greater depths about the horizons of focus and the capturing and clarifying needed to adopt GTD. "
" Really enjoyed his insight to getting things done in life as well not just work. I listened to the last chapters several times. it's recommended. "
" i really enjoy the GTD methods and the original book, but this was an endless rambling of abstractions. "
" Definitely not as transformative as Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, but a useful discussion of how to incorporate the principles of GTD at a more abstract level. Finishing it has inspired me to get back into GTD more seriously, so I guess that's a pretty good outcome. "
" Really great book that integrates GTD workflow with the bigger picture in life. "
" I'll probably be re-reading this about once a year. This is a rich book full of gems. Right now I'm really doing pretty good on the day-to-day, but there's a lot more I could be doing about the higher levels. "
" This book elaborated on the original GTD book in ways that were sometimes insightful or inspiring but more often seemed rambling and long winded. Thought I would get an update on the original book but ended up wishing I had just read that instead. "
" Helpful reading after "Getting Things Done", but skip ahead to page 209 or 216 and read from there. "
" My productive advice for the day is to read Getting Things Done and call it done. There's nothing really wrong with the book, it just isn't necessary. "
" A deeper version of getting things done. Good but could have used some finer editing. "
" The GTD method in more detail. "
" I thought I was just drinking his Kool-Aid, but it turns out it`s a nootropic stimulant. Better organized and thinking so clear. "
" Get yourself a copy of 'Getting things done'. No added value. "
" A new book by the author of Getting Things Done. Presents new and updated views on the material from the previous book "
" No offense to the author but I feel like they should gave hired another reader for the audiobook edition. That being said, if you're into GTD then this should be required reading. The essays are good and help flesh out the ideas in Getting Things Done. "
" An excellent follow up to the orginal Getting Things Done book, not introducing any new system, but looking at the original through a different, more mature lens. Read the original first, but buy both together ;-) "
" Good rehasing of GTD ideas. The last section of the book cleared up the levels (runway up to 50,000 feet) even better than the original Getting Things Done . "
" "Getting Things Done" is better. This book does not add much to the earlier one but for the interested reader it may offer insights. "

" I almost gave up on this book the first time through but am going to give it another try. "
" Sorry to say - rambling filler is the best way I can describe it. I worship 'Getting Things Done' and the methodology. I just didn't find this book added any incremental value. "
" This is a good review of GTD principles. It doesn't really cover much new ground from the original book, but it is useful to go through again to refresh. "
" Excellent book for helping you get in control of the little things and bigger picture stuff too. "
" Great review of the Getting Things Done productivity model. The first chapter or so felt like the author was just patting himself on the back for having such an effective system, but it worked to explain the benefits. After the beginning chapters, there was lots of good advice. "
