David Allen's Ready for Anything

I was just wondering if anyone has read this book? I have read GTD (a couple of times now, and I'm still thumbing through it) and I wondered if it is worth also buying this book, or if it just covers the same material as the first one. I suppose I feel that there are some gaps in GTD, but to some extent I suspect that I will have to figure them out for myself.

I'm trying to prevent myself from procrastinating over properly implementing GTD and actually getting things done, and I can see that reading this book could either be procrastination, or could genuinely be helpful. Any thoughts?

I've just finished reading this.

I didn't feel I learnt anything new from it. It more affirms bits of the GTD book and gives a few more examples and how it is like Karate. There is a nice several page summary at the back though.

I've found more useful and relevant info from the blog and posts on this site.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
