Sample Book Insights:

#1 The game of work and the business of life are the same thing. They are the same principles and behaviors that eliminate distraction and foster beneficial focus. And winning at both work and life is not a matter of crossing some distant finish line. It’s about internalizing a set of responses and behaviors that are consistently successful when applied to any aspect of life and work.

#2 The GTD method has been adopted by many people and has become a standard item in the lexicon of self-management. It has been effective and profound, but it can be applied in even broader contexts.

#3 The principles behind the concrete work flow and focus methods have far broader implications and applications than just a personal organizing system. They can be used to process life and work in tandem, which gives you greater control and a more constructive perspective.

#4 The eleven main parts of the GTD model have applications in almost every sector of life. Each segment embodies practical steps that have instant stand-alone value for improving a wide variety of problematic situations.
