In Getting Things Done, David Allen offered a breakthrough system to enhance productivity-at work and in daily life. Now "the guru of personal productivity" (Fast Company) asks readers what is holding them back and shows how they can be ready for anything-with a clear mind, a clear deck, and clear intentions.

Based on Allen's highly popular e-newsletter, Principles of Productivity, Ready for Anything offers fifty-two principles to clear your head, focus productively, create structures that work, and get in motion, including:
* stability on one level opens creativity on another
* you can't win a game you haven't defined
* the value of a future goal is the present change it fosters

With wit, motivational insights, and inspiring quotes, Ready for Anything shows readers how to make things happen with less effort, stress, and ineffectiveness, and lots more energy, creativity, and clarity. This is the perfect book for anyone wanting to work and live at their very best.

    Review By: Christopher Spiewak

    Ok, maybe that review title is a little harsh, particularly as I actually enjoyed this book. It's well structured, easy to read, filled with memorable, relevant quotes and an overall content that basically answers the question... WHY be organized? But in the end I came away feeling it simply lacked practical depth. So yes "mediocre" but maybe worth the read if you've got time to kill (or maybe just for the quotes!)

  • Worth borrowing from the library to re-energize yourself over GTD, but does not stand up on its own.
