Since ?it was first published in David Allen's Getting Things Done has become
one of the most influential business titles of its era, and the book on personal
organisation. 'GTD' has become shorthand for an entire way of approaching the
professional and personal tasks everyone faces in life, and has spawned an
entire culture of websites, organisational tools, seminars, and offshoots. For
this revised and updated edition, David Allen has rewritten the book from start
to finish, tweaking his classic text with new tools and technologies, and adding
material that will make the book evergreen for the coming decades. Also new is a
glossary of GTD terms; The GTD Path of Mastership ? a description of what Allen
has learned and is now teaching regarding the lifelong craft of integrating
these practices, to the end-game of the capability of dealing with anything in
life, by getting control and focus; and a section on the cognitive science
research that validates GTD principles. The new edition of Getting Things Done
will be welcomed not only by the hundreds of thousands of existing fans but will
be embraced by an entire new generation eager to adopt its proven principles.
