Getting Things Done by David Allen Summa...

Jeremy Silva
About this episode

In 2019 I listened to Getting Things Done and it helped improve my productivity so much that I read it again. David Allen says “The implicit purpose of this book is urging you to operate from a higher level. To assist you in making your total life expression more fulfilling and better aligned with the big picture.”

My notes don’t do the book justice. If this resonates with you, I encourage you to purchase a copy and read or listen for yourself. The author narrates the audible version himself which enhances the delivery of his material.

This episode is also available as a blog post: https://jsilva.blog/2020/11/23/getting-things-done-summary/
