Getting Things Done by David Allen is a book based on methods of time management and various solutions to get the things done which we ignore doing.
Synopsis
Our mind often forgets few plans we intend to execute and at times remember those things which are irrelevant to our present. This is because we store information consciously as well as unconsciously. The author explains two types of planning and storing of information in this book. One is the front-end planning. Here we plan things but our mind seldom fails to remind us about it at the correct time and we land up doing irrelevant things. The other type of planning and storing happens in a trusted system of the extended mind and this informs us about the plan and its execution at the correct time as well as in the correct place.
In this book many methods are discussed where we can practice storing plans and information correctly. These methods help us to get into the habit of storing important information externally. This allows our mind to break the plan into small executable actions and thus we are able to do the work correctly and manage our time more efficiently. This can also reduce our stress and make our life easier.
