| |  | Books Ready for Anything: 52 Productivity Principles for Work and Life |  | | | | | | | | | | Rating:  - Fine tunes the GTD philosophy.
This book is a great follow up to Allen's Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.It probes a little deeper into the areas that he explains in GTD.I gave it 4-stars because I feel it's a companion book and that the original is the 5-star read.
Rating: - Ready for anything?
This book helped me think and examine the way I work again.I can relate to those examples mentioned in the book. The book is like an advisor that gives you advice leading you into a more effective way of living. I think this book is OK.
Rating:  - read it
Read it and it will transform your thinking and ultimately your life.
There's great wisdom and practicality in every line.
Rating:  - Great advice, but not told very well
I read David Allen's first book, Getting Things Done, and thought that his productivity system was great, so I quickly bought Ready for Anything (his second book) to find out what other advice he has to share.
There are many useful insights in this book that elaborate on his GTD system and tackle different aspects of productivity. However, the points he makes could easily have been said in a far simpler - and a more structured - way. For most chapters, I can make out the main point from the title and a few sentences towards the end. Everything in between is usually very confusing, and I struggle to link it to the main idea or any experience in my life.
The lack of structure and the unnecessary confusion shaved off two stars from my rating. Besides that, I believe David Allen's approach is a great way to approach productivity, and this book can help you understand some of the essentials of his system, and the reasoning behind them.
Rating: - GTD Extended
David Allen through this series of 'essays' broadens the GTD concept. One major advantage of this book over his previous one is that the GTD framework is extended past the 'operational' aspects of getting things done. For followers of GTD or those wanting a fresh look at managing today's ever conflicting demands, it's well worth a read.
