Getting Things Done

After a few signalling incidents (yelling, screaming, and other fun things), I've ordered the book for folks at home. As for myself, I use common sense, pieces of paper, calendar application, and stochastic efficiency to organize my daily affairs. [Stochastic efficiency? Make a list of tasks - the key is in making them simple but no simpler and unquestionably clear, choose one task from the list at random, finish it, choose the next, rinse and repeat]

I have a healthy suspicion of books that claim breakthroughs in helping us manage our affairs. Still, I recognize that they may help us get started. After all, they have the virtue of costing us money, and hence forcing upon us the effects of focus-by-guilt. That said, if a book, a workshop, a good knock on the head, or some such thing can help you get things done, then by all means ignore quibbles from wisecracks like me, and go grab what works for you.
