Book Reviews of Take Back Your Life! Special Edition: Using Microsoft? Outlook? to Get Organized and Stay Organized (Bpg-Other)
Book Review: If you're a GTDer and use Outlook at work, read this book
Summary: 4 Stars
The TBYL book was a real eye opener and the solution to my constant frustration with trying to tame my email and stay organized at work. Like so many others, I first read Getting Things Done by David Allen. Allen's book provides you with the whole GTD concept but it fell short for me on implementation of GTD. Along came the answer, Sally McGhee's book on Take Back Your Life! It provided the level of detail I craved on how to make GTD work for me using the one and only tool I was already using at work--Microsoft Outlook. TBYL shows you how to maximize the functionality and integrate all of Outlook's features--email, calendar, contacts and tasks --to get things done! I do have one suggestion on improving the D's of decision making regarding emails, which is to add a 5th D for "Deposit it" to capture the non-actionable step to archive/file the email in your Reference System or add it to your Someday/Maybe category. Believe McGhee make reference to this step under "Do It" but it really should be made to stand alone so it aligns with the MPS Workflow model. TBYL is definitely a must read and I found Amazon to have the best price.
