    I have always thought of myself as an organized person. There are time that I do feel scatterbrained, wondering what I was supposed to do next, but that is rarely.
    After reading this book however, it brought my organization to a whole new level.
    Whether you are an organized person or not, this book will add to your life in ways that will enable you to be more productive. It's filled with tibdits of ideas and tools that can be applied to either home or professional lives. if you want to attempt to clear up one area, focus on that and then roll over to the next as you can. This book is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone! Even those that feel they don't need it. The days will become longer as you apply the techniques he teaches into this book to give you a much richer life with the clutter of disorganization slowly disappearing and making way for the enjoyable moments. It truly is the Art of Stress Free Productivity.

    I like how the book describes how to organize your "inbox" and makes good use of calenders.

    The part about being able to trust that everything important is recorded so you don't need to sweat or dwell on it , is in my opinion, the most important part of the book.

    The late chapters going to painful detail how to do things that are easily understood from summarizations in earlier chapters. I became rather bored at the very end, but the first 2/3 was well worth the read and pays off immediately.

    I still thing the book is worth picking up.

    It's a little convoluted, but all makes sense. You have to take the time to read and absorb this stuff - not to mention implementaion. But it all makes sense. It falls into the category of "I should have figgered that out"!!

    This was the first title in the Indigo MBA reading list, so I thought I would give it a go. I browsed quickly through the book, but I didn't necessarily want to wade through the text, so I got the audio book and listened to it on my way to and from work. I gotta tell you...I was inspired! David has excellent ideas to clarify your purpose in what you are doing, and tells you in small steps what you can do to get it all (even your home projects and ideas floating around in your head) down on paper and organized so that you take the next action: the little steps which lead to getting the big projects done.

    I highly recommend this book (and the audio book even more) to everyone.

    I had high hopes when I started reading this book. There are some good suggestions for removing clutters and increase efficiency in our dealing with all the materials that comes in the in box of our lives. But the same with most self-help book, they drag on for quite a while before telling you the main point, and till then the expectation has built up so much that every suggestions sound be too commonsense to inspire awe.

    The audio book is much clearer, and great for busy business people.
