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?

Useful Tool

I've been reading RfA this past week while on a work-related trip and I'm really liking it. I think the best tie-in is for folk like me who want to jump right in to the whole GTD worldview, but are so overwhelmed they don't know where to begin. I'm not too sure I can do the whole 50,000 foot view (where I fit into the Universe matters less to me than ensuring I get every Soldier what he needs to do his job) but RfA has generated tonnes of ideas on what I can do NOW and get some momentum built.

Think of it as a series of inspirational messages to re-energise your system when you feel you're heading into a rut.

Regards,

Mike.

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. »
