About this product

An accessible, practical, step-by-step how-to guide that supplements Getting Things Done by providing the details, the how-to's, and the practices to apply GTD more fully and easily in daily life
The incredible popularity of Getting Things Done revealed people's need to take control of their own productivity with a system that reduces the stress of staying on top of it all. Around the world hundreds of certified trainers and coaches are engaged full time in teaching the process, supported by a grassroots movement of Meetup groups, LinkedIn groups, Facebook groups, podcasts, blogs and dozens of apps based on it. While Getting Things Done remains the definitive way to gain perspective over work and create the mental space for creativity and mindfulness, The Getting Things Done Workbook enhances the original by providing an accessible guide to the GTD methodology in workbook form.
The workbook divides the process into small, manageable segments to allow for easier learning and doing. Each chapter identifies a challenge the reader may be facing--such as being overwhelmed by too many to-do lists, a messy desk, or email overload--and explains the GTD concept to address. The lessons can be learned and implemented in almost any order, and whichever is adopted will provide immediate benefits. This handy instructional manual will give both seasoned GTD users and newcomers alike clear action steps to take to reach a place of sustained efficiency. Read more

Editor's Take

Amazon reviewers say this workbook is easy to use, concise, and a helpful companion to the original GTD method, with several noting that it offers useful tips, videos, templates, and a clear overview of the system. Some reviewers, however, feel it has limited standalone value or is overpriced. Goodreads results in the broader GTD ecosystem are more mixed, with some readers criticizing organization and writing quality, though those reviews are mostly for the main GTD title rather than this workbook. Review blogs describe it as a practical update that helps existing GTD users get back on track. YouTube search results surfaced multiple video reviews and summaries that appear to be about the book, but no verified YouTube video IDs are included here because only real video URLs can be used to extract them.
