Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen

Some of us love to be extremely busy, multi-tasking our way through our lives, achieving all we can achieve. The idea of "simplicity" doesn't seem especially attainable or desirable.

Mr. Allen discusses what is missing from many time management and stress management programs, and delivers a plan that might assist you in being relaxed, productive, completely on top of your game, and stress-free.
