      This book is very informative. It's all about getting all the things you need to do in your life out of your head and on to paper. Although it is written for middle aged businessmen, it has a lot of good ideas about how to make your life more organized. It was definitely a good read and helped both my husband and I become much more productive.

      Well, this book has me torn. I think the productivity tips are really useful, offering guidance and structures for organizing one's workflow on multiple time horizons (daily, weekly, etc.). I subscribe to a number of RSS feeds regarding productivity "hacks" that use Allen's book as a foundation for their tips and tricks, and GTD delivered on providing my own framework for implementing those tips. In fact, I was able to arrange my Outlook and bust through my inbox right after reading the book.

      However, the two-bit moralizing about 'relaxed control' got in the way of otherwise useful information. The last two chapters are absolute malarkey, and should be disregarded. Additionally, and this might be a time-saving boon, much of the book can be skimmed for the juicier morsels.
