The global bestseller is now available in a new updated edition.

Discover the fully updated, powerful methods of the New York Times bestseller David Allen for stress-free productivity at work and in life. When it was first released, "Getting Things Done" by David Allen was described as "the most reliable self-help book of the decade" (Time). Since then, his methodology has become a complete culture of personal organization aimed at changing the way we live and work.

The seasoned consultant and management specialist has rewritten the book based on new perspectives of the modern work environment and incorporating elements that validate his timeless saying that "we have minds to generate ideas and to put them into action!" Allen's position is simple: Our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when the mind is clear and thoughts are organized can we achieve remarkable results and unleash our creativity.

Starting from basic principles and reaching proven techniques, this book explains how to apply the rule "do it, delegate it, defer it, discard it" when managing your email, how to reassess goals and stay focused even in changing circumstances, how to plan projects and overcome obstacles, manage stress and pressure, and feel good about what you don't accomplish.
