What is the difference between doing too much and lack of organization?  David Allen gets us closer the answer with “Getting Things Done.” 

This book exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it.  The only caveat I will provide is that if you are looking for a quick fix and a quick read- this is neither.  If you are serious about managing what you need to do and want to do it with greater efficiency, look no further.

I read this book on the recommendation of my best friend Tory and her husband, Jon.  In the aftermath of losing my husband, I was stuck in Overwhelming Busyness (OB) looking for direction tackling the intimidating mountain of things to do.

Picking up the pieces, I had to critically reevaluate everything.  I took my time and read.  This book is about more than just getting things accomplished.  It systematically organizes life so we can identify our projects and manage priorities.   Ultimately, I desired to free time for the things that are important to me and this book delivers.  

I did a great job initiating the system but I fell out of routine and have fallen behind.  Trying to manage without it is uncomfortable and rather exhausting.  I find myself in the territory of Busyness without reserve (BWR).   This is the perfect time to reread the book and regroup.  I am efficient at baseline, but this book expanded my capacity and gave me a freedom that I want to revisit. #busynessbalance
