His book and methodology pushed me get dominion over the “stuff” and create a system to get it out of my head and into a process. This is situation is the challenge of most modern digital workers, as Allen points out. Figuring out your priorities and managing all of the stuff is hard. Like a lot of modern digital worker, I have struggled with all of the work and information I have to deal with. It’s a book I highly recommend and have gifted the most. I’ve read a lot of books about work and productivity, but arguably the most influential on me (and a lot of other high functioning executives and entrepreneurs) is David Allen’s “Getting Things Done.” It was a game changer for me personally. You need to process, priorize and execute. You have to deal with a world of too much information and endless distractions.

In order to get tasks, projects and important goals done, you have to be organized. It’s about completing the tasks that drive value to your projects, business and life.

The true goal of productivity is to get your most important shit done.
