Publisher's summary

The companion to the blockbuster best seller, Getting Things Done.

Since its publication in 2001, Getting Things Done has become, as Time magazine put it, "the defining self-help business book" of the decade. Having inspired millions of readers/listeners around the world, it clearly spoke to an urgent need in an increasingly time-pressured society. Now, in the highly anticipated sequel Making It All Work, Allen unlocks the full power of his methods across the entire span of life and work. While Getting Things Done functioned as an essential tool kit, Making It All Work is an invaluable road map, providing both bearings to help you determine where you are in life and directions on how to get to where you want to go.

Well worth the listening time

I am so glad that I listened to this book. I had read parts of the first GTD book, and I am back at that one again.

Just what I needed to read

What did you love best about Making It All Work?

Making It All Work was the book I needed to read to get a handle on my business and my life. It offers clear and concise recommendations on how to use the concepts of David's earlier book "Getting Things Done" to improve your life.

What did you like best about this story?

What I liked best was the flexibility of the recommendations and how practical it is.

Have you listened to any of David Allen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This book is as good as "Getting Things Done", but I think you should read "Getting Things Done" first.

Worthwhile Follow-up to GTD

An excellent revisit of GTD which helps you surface further subtleties. Filled with David Allen's signature masterful articulation of then "mundane."
A must read for loyal GTD followers.
