Just a word of warning. The illustrations are in such a small font that they are unreadable and because they are illustrations you cannot use the kindles increase font size option to get them so they can be read.

Have used GTD principles for a few years now. This book provides a follow on perspective of GTD from David Allen’s consulting experiences over the last decade. Read GTD first. This book is good for filling in more of the theory.

Plain and simple. I can’t imagine anyone not having this book in their personal library if they are truly interested in becoming a highly productive man or woman!

After reading “Making it All Work” I enjoyed the concepts on “focusing on what has your attention”. David Allen’s illustrates basic ideals such as control and perspective which creates a sense of clarification of your life both professionally and personally. This book contains information in regards to the approach toward the understanding of six levels of Perspective such as, Purpose/Principles, Vision, Goals, Areas of Focus and Projects, and engaging/actions. Recommended to all readers who want to focus what means most to them.

It became evident early on that Making Things Work had nothing new to offer. Allen’s first book, Getting Things Done, was life-changing: this one is yawn-inducing. It refers to GTD so often that it seems silly to waste time reading this rehash when it would serve you better to revisit the original. I was hoping for new GTD tips and techniques; I was sorely disappointed.
