'The Bible of business and personal productivity' Lifehack
'A completely revised and updated edition of the blockbuster bestseller from 'the personal productivity guru' Fast Company
Since it was first published almost fifteen years ago, David Allen's Getting Things Done has become one of the most influential business books of its era, and the ultimate book on personal organization. 'GTD' is now shorthand for an entire way of approaching professional and personal tasks, and has spawned an entire culture of websites, organizational tools, seminars, and offshoots.
Allen has rewritten the book from start to finish, tweaking his classic text with important perspectives on the new workplace, and adding material that will make the book fresh and relevant for years to come. This new edition of Getting Things Done will be welcomed not only by its hundreds of thousands of existing fans but also by a whole new generation eager to adopt its proven principles.
FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ESSENTIALISM COMES A
GUIDE TO MAKING THE MOST IMPORTANT TASKS EFFORTLESS
The intricacy of modern life has created a false dichotomy between
things that are 'hard and important,' and those that are 'easy and
trivial.' Everything has become so much harder than it ought to be.
But, Greg McKeown, bestselling author of Essentialism, says, there is a
third alternative. In Effortless, he offers practical strategies for
making the most vital tasks the easiest ones. Honed over the better
part of a decade, these strategies include:
- Asking 'What Step Can I Remove?' (accomplish more, in fewer
steps)
- Having the Courage to Be Rubbish (prioritize progress over
perfection)
- Deciding What 'Done' Looks Like (don't keep running after
you pass the finish line)
McKeown's philosophy of essentialism has helped thousands to eliminate
nonessential activities and focus on the few that really matter.
Working out what is essential is the first step - making these tasks
effortless is the next. Effortless will show you how.
"READ THIS BOOK AND USE IT." TIM FERRISS Millions of highly
effective people have become more successful by understanding the
simple fact that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts.
All you have to do is identify the 20 percent that leads to 80
percent. The 80/20 Principle shows you how. Richard Koch's
million-copy-selling global bestseller is now completely revised
and updated, and more powerful and essential than ever. He reveals
how the principle works and shows how to use it in a systematic and
practical way to vastly increase your effectiveness, and improve
your career. The unspoken corollary to the 80/20 principle is that
little of what you spend your time on actually counts. But by
concentrating on those things that do, you can unlock the enormous
potential of the magic 20 percent. Discover how to identify the few
methods that will lead to great results, and use them alone. Avoid
hard work. Don't push water uphill. Be very selective in what you
do. Have a great life. 80/20 is the essential tool for anyone who
wants to succeed. Be more effective with less effort by learning
how to leverage the 80/20 principle.
Research has indicated that busy managers are often so busy
'putting out fires' that they feel overwhelmed and therefore find
it difficult to accomplish the strategic elements of their role.
They frequently end up doing things themselves (even sometimes
taking over operational tasks from direct reports) because they
feel it is just easier and quicker than telling or showing someone
else what needs to be done. And sometimes have little confidence in
the competence and ability of staff to successfully problem solve
or make effective decisions. Those who receive effective coaching
develop increased awareness and are more prepared to take
responsibility. In the longer term this develops qualities such as
self belief and confidence which actually leads to improvements in
competence (in those being coached). And therefore a reduction in
stress for the coaching manger. This book provides practical ways
for managers to develop the potential of those they manage by
adopting a simple coaching approach.
Watching online videos, buying courses, attending conferences, or using
the latest app may give you a short-term business boost, but these
aren't the answers to unlocking extraordinary and lasting results.

The Revolutionary Productivity System Trusted By Over 25,000+
Professionals.
Get more done and get your life back.
Many professionals work as much as 70 hours a week, leaving little time
for rest, exercise, family, and friends. Work is invading their
personal life.
The common understanding of productivity has failed these
professionals. Most think productivity is just about getting more done
at a faster speed. But it's not.
Productivity is about getting the right things done.
New York Times Bestselling author, Michael Hyatt, has created a total
productivity system that's much more than endless box checking. Proven
by over 25,000 professionals, this system helps overwhelmed leaders
achieve what matters most so they can succeed at both work and life.
In his latest book, Free to Focus, you'll discover how to ...
- Redefine your work so it works for you
- Filter your tasks and commitments
- Cut out the nonessentials
- Eliminate interruptions and distractions
- Set boundaries that protect your focus and drive results
- Leverage your time and energy for maximum productivity
- Build momentum for a lifetime of success
In Free to Focus, you'll learn the 3-step system to achieve more while
doing less.
You have a daily to-do list consisting of several dozen items.
You're always busy, but you never really feel productive. You know
what you need to get done, but you can't figure out where to start.
You routinely agree to help others with their tasks but can't make
headway with your own work. Sound familiar? If you've ever felt (or
been told) that you have a time management problem, award-winning
educator PJ Caposey has a revelation to share: you probably don't.
Sure, you may struggle to meet deadlines or stay on top of your
myriad responsibilities as an educator, but these aren't signs that
you can't manage time-they're symptoms of underlying issues you may
never have noticed or thought to address. In Manage Your Time or
Time Will Manage You, Caposey identifies eight root causes of
""time management difficulties"" and provides treatment in the form
of advice, support, and coping techniques for teachers and leaders
who are: Work Avoidant. People Pleasers. Prisoners of the Moment.
Checklist Dependent. Disorganized. Technology Avoidant.
Self-Servers. Perpetually Imbalanced. Time management is a complex
and personal issue best addressed through deep self-reflection or
caring and thoughtful coaching. This book offers a blueprint for
both. It will help you better understand yourself and the behaviors
of those you work with or lead, promoting more productive teaching
and leadership-and greater peace of mind.
