A book on organization and productivity
Getting Things Done by David Allen, is a type of book that I have never read before or would’ve been my first choice. I was skeptical when I first started reading it at first because some of the tips and tricks he mentioned for staying productive or organized were cheesy, but here I am a couple months after starting the book and doing some of the things he mentioned in the book.
Getting Things Done is a manual for productivity and filled with tips on how to keep organized. I thought I was a pretty organized person, in my own way, before I started reading this book, but after reading it I really wasn’t. I only had one way of keeping track of information, and that was by remembering it. I have incorporated calendars, reminder apps, and a spreadsheet into my daily life that has helped me a lot. I still find times where I go back to old ways, but it’s very rare now.
The biggest lesson I learned is to accomplish any tasks that take less than 2-minutes. I didn’t realize the importance of this until I started doing it. I used to always push that stuff off for later which eventually I would forget about or it would be late. This has changed my productivity for the better and has changed how I accomplish things.
This book was a good read and something I would recommend to anyone needing a boost in productivity and some organization tips.
