“Getting Things Done” by David Allen – Bookclub Summary by Diane Halweg

As a way to be more productive and efficient, JETPUBS leadership created a bookclub. This bookclub provides us with a fun way to come together, learn new things, and have meaningful discussions about what we are learning. Each new book provides the group with new information on everything from learning about other people who have started successful businesses and how they did it to different ways of becoming more productive and efficient.

This week we are starting a new book, Getting Things Done, by David Allen. In this book, David Allen shares his breakthrough methods for stress-free performance. Allen believes our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax.

After reading each chapter, I am going to write a short summary describing what I have learned from the book, what changes I have made based on the advice and instruction in the book, and how successful those changes really are.

Ok, off to chapter 1…
