The good folks at Nightingale Conant caught me at the right point in late 2002 (just after my job had been downsized), and I bought the Getting Things Done CD’s. These are the live recordings of a seminar by David Allen, and they have genuinely changed my life. (Read my comments from Spring 2003 on how I felt then).

I’ve lent the CDs to several friends who’ve been similarly impressed (and bought labelmakers too). For most people, e-mail inboxes are the sign of being out of control in the amount of input we allow into our lives.
