Getting Things Done

Useful principles for capturing, organizing, and getting things off your mind. The more specific advice is clearly tailored for executives and folks in management roles but I find that it’s worth the effort to implement a fair amount of the framework.

Genuinely good organizational advice wrapped in an obnoxious self-helpy presentation, all explicitly written to a target audience of cishet white male executives with assistants and maids and summer houses. Useful if you can grit your teeth and push through it, totally understandable if you can't.

The methodology is simple yet effective. However, the book feels unnecessary bloated and repeats itself multiple times. If you look up a blogpost on the GTD method, you will get the same information and value just like reading the book.
