Well-written and useful

This is an excellent book. I appreciated the first edition, but, as with most of the task management systems I've investigated, it really didn't work for me on a practical, day-by-day basis. I found myself beating myself up for not following the system...one more task that I wasn't getting to.

What he lays out in the second edition is a very different approach, one that works well for me. It seems to match the way my brain approaches daily and longer-term tasks. Highly recommended!!

Life changing

I know that you've heard it before..."This book has changed my life...yada yada yada". But the truth is, this book has really changed the way I organize my work life. Everything is now more organized, easier to manage, and simplier. It that's not life changeing I don't know what is.
If you're busy, and you use Outlook to help you stay in control. This book is a definate 'must have'.
They have very clear instructions to customize Outlook but being the lazy person I am, I bought the software and glad that I did.

Fantastic Book With Lots of Practical Tips for Task Management

I find this book, especially the second edition, to be so helpful with my ongoing attempts to get better organized.

The new task views (Now-Tasks, Defer-to-Review Tasks, Goals, etc.), as well as subtle changes to the TaskPad/ToDo Bar, make it much easier to stay focused on what needs to be done now, while giving reassurance that everything else is still within the system and that each task will appear in its own due time.

Thanks for a great tool and for THE manual on processing and managing tasks.

Most recommended!

Still the best.

Linenberger does it again.

If, like me, you've struggled with applying the excellent ideas from David Allen & Stephen Covey then this is the book for you. I have read many titles in this genre but it is Linenberger's advice that passes the test of time. He has an uncanny nack of addressing the problems in workflow management that have been nagging at you, and offers solutions that just work. No need for fancy software, his techniques work with the tool you already have to hand - Microsoft Outlook.

Stop reading this review already and purchase this title - you will not be disappointed!

Good System for Handling Large Volumes of E-Mail

The system covered in this book works well, in my experience, for handling large volumes of e-mail. One of the central premises of this system involves transforming e-mails into tasks. This approach is action-oriented and keeps one focused on execution and deliverables.

A number of Chapters in this book may not be applicable for all users (e.g. the Chapter on "Topic-Based E-Mail Filing"), but the book is worth reading.

I have found the system covered in this book to work only if one puts the time and effort into implementing it as advised by the author.
