I noticed that you have not listed the classic HOW TO GET CONTROL OF YOUR TIME AND YOUR LIFE by Alan Lakein. I know you like to read as many PD books as you can, so I would be very interested to read your opinions about that book( and I will not be offended by any opinion ).
I would also be interested to read *why* you think so much of Getting Things Done. Other people are welcome to express their opinions too. I realize not every book is for everyone, so I would be interested to read why, "you", in particular think so much of that book.
I ask because I read a number of negative reviews for that book on Amazon, most of which made the same crticisms:
1. Unnecessarily verbose
2. Overly elementary, almost common sense advise
3. Time consuming and unnecessarily complex management system
Here is a review I wrote for my favorite time management book. It is extremely slim yet content rich. You can read it in a weekend. It is also old so you can find it in most libraries or get your own copy very cheaply.
If anyone has read it and would like to give me their opinion as to why it is not their fave I would be interested in hearing your opinions:
