Publisher Description

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."

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "
