Summary: Getting things done David Allen

This work offers a summary of the book “GETTING THINGS DONE: The Art of StressFree Productivity” by David Allen.

David Allen is president and CEO of David Allen & Co., a management consulting and training company. He has also developed and implemented management and productivity packages for a number of businesses, and is widely regarded as one of the world's most influential thinkers on productivity.

Your ability to be productive is directly proportional to your ability to relax. Only when your mind is clear and your thoughts are well organized can you truly unleash your creative potential. Thus, the key to being more productive is to develop realistic and sustainable ways you can relax more. And how do you become more relaxed? The answer is simple and direct – transform the way you work and the way you actually experience work by developing a trustworthy system to manage all the things you would ordinarily try and remember.

In this thoughtful guide, David Allen explains how to implement his workflow management plan. If you are always in a hurry, Getting Things Done will give you the keys for perfecting organizational efficiency or productivity in your professional and personal life.
