A few weeks ago I wrote an article called Overwhelmed with Stuff about a great book called Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen. There is a key workflow diagram that summarizes the process on page 36. I find this amazing, but this book as of right this second (7:45 PM EST on a Friday night) ranks #61 in all of Amazon sales. The book came out 6 years ago. Wouldn’t you think more recent books would have passed it up?
After some research to find a nice electronic copy that I could print (rather than make a photocopy), I found a few great sites that explain the whole process (kind of the Cliff notes version….but I still recommend you own the book).
First, there is a great article (more in-depth than mine) at the Get Rich Slowly blog.
Within the article there are two printable summary sheets. Check them out.
I’m also anxiously awaiting my order for Allen’s latest book.
The Amazon reviewers haven’t been terribly kind to his latest with it averaging 3.5 stars after 6 reviews. However, the original book has a solid 4.5 stars after 484 reviews.
