David Allen
An American productivity consultant and author, best known for creating the "Getting Things Done" (GTD) methodology. His seminal book, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, provides a comprehensive framework for organizing tasks, managing workflows, and achieving greater efficiency. Allen's approach emphasizes capturing all commitments, clarifying next actions, and reviewing regularly to maintain control and reduce overwhelm. GTD has become a globally recognized system, empowering countless individuals and organizations.
David Allen's Getting Things Done was hailed as 'the definitive business self-help book of the decade' (Time) when it was first published almost fifteen years ago, and ' GTD' has since become shorthand for an entire culture of personal organization that offers to change the way people work and live. Now the veteran coach and management consultant has rewritten the book from start to finish, tweaking his classic text with new perspectives on today's workplace and incorporating new data that validates his timeless admonition that 'your hear is for having ideas - not for holding them!'
