David Allen's Ready for Anything

I was just wondering if anyone has read this book? I have read GTD (a couple of times now, and I'm still thumbing through it) and I wondered if it is worth also buying this book, or if it just covers the same material as the first one. I suppose I feel that there are some gaps in GTD, but to some extent I suspect that I will have to figure them out for myself.

I'm trying to prevent myself from procrastinating over properly implementing GTD and actually getting things done, and I can see that reading this book could either be procrastination, or could genuinely be helpful. Any thoughts?

I bought it on impulse,...

I bought it on impulse, and GOD is right -- it's not as great as GTD.

I guess it's sort of an affirmations book.

I can't say much, since I've only read like the first 5 pages, most of which is his little pep-talk-slash-introduction to the book.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
