Getting Things Done

I read Getting Things Done by David Allen last summer after owning the book for nearly 3 years and I’ve been trying to adopt the principles outlined in the book since then, not very well I might add!

As part of my New Year’s resolutions I’d like to improve my adoption of the GTD methodology and will no doubt re-read the book (as it suggests) or even grab an audio version of it. I’ve also become a member of the GTD group on Facebook and started following a couple of GTD focused blogs in the hope these will improve my understanding of the basic principles and provide a few helpful tips along the way.

I came across this video clip the other day (via DIGTD) that helped me visualise some of the items outlined in the GTD book.

Gordon Ramsay’s Playing with Fire

Gordon Ramsay's Playing with Fire

The first book I’ve started reading this year, as one of my New Year resolutions, is Gordon Ramsay’s Playing with Fire the follow up to his autobiography Humble Pie. Playing with Fire focuses purely on his business ventures and associated events.

Humble Pie was a fascinating read for someone who enjoys watching pretty much all of the TV programmes Gordon Ramsay is involved with. Although I’m quite a fan of autobiographies in general anyway.  I’m about half way through this book already and just like the first I’m finding it hard to put down!
