Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

Like most self-help book, there's a certain hokeyness you need to get past to read it. Unlike most self-help books, this actually has useful ideas and information. I can say as someone who's perpetually disorganized, this book won't magically transform you into a productivity guru. The writing often acts like a magic bullet, which no productivity method is. But GTD does give good strategies for how to spend less time fretting about everything you have to do and more time doing them. And, for me, that's pretty valuable.
