Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity description
With first-chapter allusions to martial arts, "flow," "mind like water," and other concepts borrowed from the East (and usually mangled), you'd almost think this self-helper from David Allen should have been called Zen and the Art of Schedule Maintenance.

I didn't want to buy this book but a "95% percent of people buy the book on this page persuaded me", maybe it's a percentage that becomes self-fulfillng after a while, or after a few disciple buy it initially.
258 pages of how to plan, you would have thought a simple and effective planning system could be more concise but maybe half these pages are quotes from people telling you how "great" this book is, namedropping everywhere, always a warning sign in my mind.
Most probably written by a guy who has spent his professional life reading books and lecturing others "those who can, do, those who can't teach (or write books and deliver seminars".
In future i will employ my "blockbuster" rule on book likes this, if there is too much hype for movie (now Book), beware, be careful and caveat emptor.
words like 'distributed cognition', buckets, focus, best-action, systematic format. zzzzzzzzzzzzz
I would have returned it had it not been for the fact that i had it shipped abroad.
also contains the must-have wisdom quotes throughout, here's a cracker:
"I would not give a fig for the simplicity on this side of complexity, but i would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity"
Lovely!
