Rating: - If you're a GTDer and use Outlook at work, read this book
The TBYL book was a real eye opener and the solution to my constant frustration with trying to tame my email and stay organized at work.Like so many others, I first read Getting Things Done by David Allen.Allen's book provides you with the whole GTD concept but it fell short for me on implementation of GTD.Along came the answer, Sally McGhee's book on Take Back Your Life!It provided the level of detail I craved on how to make GTD work for me using the one and only tool I was already using ...

Rating:  - Take Back Your Time

Pretty good start-up place for those who need some pointers at how to classify and prioritize tasks, events, items, and almost everything.
