I really enjoyed the book, I picked it up at my local Library, because it sounded pretty legitimate. I have pretty much tried all of the "organizing" books out there, and I am still oftentimes disorganized. They key points in this book were, I believe, mind over matter. That if you have overwhelmingly large tasks ahead of you, you should break it all down and organize it into steps for you to follow sequentially. -Randy The getting things done reference card is a pretty cool thing.

Preparation is good, but we need to be aware if we are actually preparing too much. Sometimes preparation can be excuse to procrastinate what we've got to do. In that case, preparation is a liability rather than asset. Cheers, Robert Hello game-girl, thanks for sharing your opinion.
