Getting Things Done - - Finally

I have been reading this book by David Allen...for a LONG time. The fact that it is called "Getting Things Done" makes me think I should be embarrassed about taking so long to read it. I was determined to finish it because I have a constant need to get "organized" and I feel like the method described in this book will help me allot, eventually. I even bought my own copy, and I don't usually do things like that. But I know I will be referring to it over the years (yes, it just might take me that long), plus the library wouldn't let me keep their copy anymore.

Something I learned - always ask "What's the next action?" and then answer it of course.

One of my favorite quotes - "Talk does not cook rice" Chinese Proverb

Would I recommend it? - Yes, and I won't even ask how long it took you to read. :)

Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still. -Chinese Proverb

Kind of along the same lines.

Yes, because I was reading very slowly. :)
That's a good one, I like it!
