It basically meant to me making a second external brain, which I was in big need of… But, yes there is a small but, David Allen is a big salesperson and the useful part of the book could have been written in 10 pages.

To sum up my own experience and give you a hint of what is coming: I loved reorganizing (or should I say organizing…) my life with the help of the Getting Things Done system, and it has seriously helped me when it comes down to procrastination and motivation. Many people on the internet dedicate their life to this system as some kind of religion (this is exaggerated but kind of true), and I wanted to know if the hype was worth it or not, so I also jumped in with two feet, read the book and tried it hands on myself. One of the many systems that can be applied, and that I think is a good way to start, is the Getting Things Done ( ) system of David Allen.

GETTING THINGS DONE: THE PRODUCTIVITY SYSTEM In this case, then you might know the overwhelming feeling of all those projects running in your head, with procrastination as a result. it might be that the system your team is using isn’t even enough for you… Maybe you are still a student or you are self-employed and you don’t have a system to fall on at all to manage all your tasks and projects. But what about your personal projects and goals? You want to learn more about investing, needing a fresh new working space at home, wanting to make photo books of trips you did years ago, or maybe even finally start that side business?

If you work at a company, you probably use digital applications to process information and tasks all the time.
