Getting Things Done- The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

Getting Things Done

The Art of Stress-Free Productivity:

Not quite. Yes, Getting Things Done offers a complete system for downloading all those free-floating gotta-do's clogging your brain into a sophisticated framework of files and action lists--all purportedly to free your mind to focus on whatever you're working on. However, it still operates from the decidedly Western notion that if we could just get really, really organized, we could turn ourselves into 24/7 productivity machines. (To wit, Allen, whom the New Economy bible Fast Company has dubbed "the personal productivity guru," suggests that instead of meditating on crouching tigers and hidden dragons while you wait for a plane, you should unsheathe that high-tech saber known as the cell phone and attack that list of calls you need to return.)

As whole-life-organizing systems go, Allen's is pretty good, even fun and therapeutic. It starts with the exhortation to take every unaccounted-for scrap of paper in your workstation that you can't junk, The next step is to write down every unaccounted-for gotta-do cramming your head onto its own scrap of paper. Finally, throw the whole stew into a giant "in-basket"

That's where the processing and prioritizing begin; in Allen's system, it get a little convoluted at times, rife as it is with fancy terms, subterms, and sub-subterms for even the simplest concepts. Thank goodness the spine of his system is captured on a straightforward, one-page flowchart that you can pin over your desk and repeatedly consult without having to refer back to the book. That alone is worth the purchase price. Also of value is Allen's ingenious Two-Minute Rule: if there's anything you absolutely must do that you can do right now in two minutes or less, then do it now, thus freeing up your time and mind tenfold over the long term. It's commonsense advice so obvious that most of us completely overlook it, much to our detriment; Allen excels at dispensing such wisdom in this useful, if somewhat belabored, self-improver aimed at everyone from CEOs to soccer moms (who we all know are more organized than most CEOs to start with). --Timothy MurphyDescription: Offers a complete system for downloading all those free-floating gotta-do's clogging your brain into a sophisticated framework of files and action lists--all purportedly to free your mind to focus on whatever you're working on. Softcover. Description: """The personal productivity guru"" (Fast Company) delivers powerful methods that vastly increase your efficiency and creative results-at work and in life In today's world, yesterday's methods just don't work. In Getting Things Done, veteran coach and management consultant David Allen shares the breakthrough methods for stress-free performance that he has introduced to tens of thousands of people across the country. Allen's premise is simple: our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve effective productivity and unleash our creative potential. In Getting Things Done Allen shows how to: Apply the ""do it, delegate it, defer it, drop it"" rule to get your in-box to empty Reassess goals and stay focused in changing situations Plan projects as well as get them unstuck Overcome feelings of confusion, anxiety, and being overwhelmed Feel fine about what you're not doing From core principles to proven tricks, Getting Things Done can transform the way you work, showing you how to pick up the pace without wearing yourself down."

• Review:: 'Need to develop a method to implement this I liked the concepts in this book (explained by most reviewers). I thought the best way to see wheather or not this works is to implement the ideas presented in the book. So I created a MS Excal based tool to manage my tasks and time. So far this has been sucessful. I would recommned readers to think 'how to get this done' - implement the ideas - and then provide real inputs on areas for improvements.
• Review:: 'Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity I am very disorganized and have the memory of a gnat. Since starting this book, I have been writing and carrying notes and a pencil, crossing them off as they are done. I can almost see the floor in my computer room now!
• Review:: 'Efficiency encapsulated! I'm guessing that David Allen doesn't think screwing around on Amazon writing reviews does much to increase productivity.
• Review:: 'Best productivity (while stress reducing!) book ever read Awesome, clear approach. Buy it, do it.
• Review:: 'Excellent system for personal organization I've read a number of books on organization, discipline and productivity in the last three years, and this stands out as one of the best. I found the two introductory chapters explaining the author's viewpoints on why people have problems with organization to be quite helpful in seeing how to match his system with my needs. The system itself is well balanced between simplicity and completeness. I highly recommend this book for anyone who feels like their mountain of tasks is out of control. In fact, I like it so well I bought a second copy for a friend of mine who is having his own difficulties in this area.

The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding- Seventh Revised Edition (La Leche League International Book)

The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding

Seventh Revised Edition (La Leche League International Book):

In this newly revised edition of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, you will learn:

• How human milk offers lifetime benefits for your baby
• How to prepare for breastfeeding during pregnancy
• How to exercise and lose weight safely while nursing
• How to find time for yourself while meeting baby's needs
• How to increase your milk supply by using herbs and medications
• How to be sure your baby is getting enough to eat

The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding was the first book of its kind, written for mothers by mothers. Over the years, more than two million mothers have turned to it for information and inspiration.

• Review:: 'No help increasing milk supply Yes, I agree with all the comments about this book being very smug about non-breast feeding or formula-supplamenting mothers. My problem with this book was the very clear indication on the back cover that there was information on how to increase milk supply. The was absolutely NO such information ANYWHERE in this book, and I read it cover to cover. The closest thing I found were a few reassuring comments that as long as your baby is gaining weight, and your diet is good, you should be fine. As a working mom who is pumping daily I have recently noticed a decline in my milk, and while their reassurance is very nice, what I need is ACTUAL practical advice. This book was seriously irritating.
• Review:: 'A breastfeeding mother's guide. I purchased this book as a gift for a woman I work with who is pregnant and wanting to breastfeed her baby. Almost 37 years ago (when I gave birth to my son), I was the only breastfeeding mom in the hospital and there were 14 newborns. I had no idea what I was doing but I thought I would figure it out (my mother and grandmother didn't have a book to tell them how to do it so I didn't know I would need one). Well, oneof the night nurses told me about La Leche League and their wonderful book written by nursing mom's for other nursing mom's. This book helped me so much and it helped my husband too. He realized I needed his support since most of my family was telling me to bottle feed. Long story made short...I nursed my son for 9 full months at which time he decided he was finished with this stuff and went straight to a cup. He was wonderful, happy, and most of all healthy. And the best part is I left the hospital in the clothes I was wearing before I became pregnant - it helped me too to get back in those size 8's. I highly recommend this book to all expecting mothers whether or not you plan to breastfeed. Joanne Middleton
• Review:: 'Judgmental LLL Propaganda There are several really excellent breastfeeding books on the market that have a positive, practical and sensitive approach to all types of mothering and feeding practices. This is not one of them. This is a 400 page advertisement for La Leche League and the message that I received from this book is that good mothers breastfeed and give birth naturally and everyone else just didn't try hard enough. It is subtle, but once I noticed it, I could not avoid the glaring fact that this book is laced with masked criticism and veiled judgment. Wouldn't it be great if, in the collective group we refer to as mothers, we could all stop looking down on each other and promote acceptance instead? If you feel the same way that I do, you will not buy this book.
• Review:: 'Ok Book, Can make you feel bad I was very excited when I ordered and received this book. I was 8 months pregnant, and was ready for a natural childbirth and breastfeeding my new baby. I wound up with a c-section after 20 hours of labor with no drugs, and 3 hours of pushing. This was very stressful to my body and mind. After a day or two of trying to breastfeed, my baby was screaming for hours. All of the nurses at the hospital were telling me that he wasn't getting enough food, and I should supplement him with formula. This devastated me because this book says NO SUPPLEMENTING! My son's pediatrician made me do it because he lost so much weight because my milk wasn't coming in. It took over a week for my milk to come in (because of the stress from delivery), and at 13 weeks past delivery, I still don't make enough milk to pump. If I leave my baby with his grandparents, I have to leave formula. The book is good, however, it fails to take into consideration that some women don't make that much milk. I have never had a leaking breast problem, and I have never been engorged. I just make enough to feed my baby from the breast. That's it. I liked the book, but it made me feel really bad about myself as a mother when I had to supplement. Read it, and take what you can from it, but remember that things do happen, and not everything will go as planned.
• Review:: 'Full of love... This is a beautiful book that discusses breastfeeding and mothering through breastfeeding in a warm and compassionate manner. The encouragement to find mother to mother support through organizations like La Leche League offered in this book is wonderful, especially for nursing mothers who do not otherwise have a support system. In addition to offering accurate guidance on all aspects of breastfeeding, the book not only presents medical benefits of breastfeeding for both mother and child, but also a historical and global perspective on the subject matter, especially weaning. Ours is a society where women are expected to breastfeed by the medical community and the media, but are given few tools and too much misinformation to enable many women to be successful. It is a blessing that this book combats both of those obstacles.
