So far the best time management book I've read. I think I still like David Allen's organizational methods better, but I may try Forster's filing method and see if I prefer it.

Jak snadno zvládat úkoly, které neustále přibývají? Jak se soustředit pouze na jednu věc a rychle ji dotáhnout do konce? Jak omezit stres a mít dobrý pocit ze své práce? Jak opravdu dosahovat svých cílů, a ne pouze hodně pracovat? Uznávaný autor a poradce v knize odkrývá tajemství time managementu, která skutečně fungují. Díky ní objevíte řadu nových zásad a jednoduchých principů, které vám pomohou zvládnout to, co potřebujete. Autor doporučuje například metodu uzavřených seznamů, sdružování stejnorodých činností, práci v kratších blocích apod. Klíčová myšlenka knihy pak vychází z jednoduché zásady, že nejdůležitější je umění stanovit si pracovní priority a nepřikládat úkolům větší důležitost, než si zaslouží. To vám umožní si úkoly "naplánovat na zítra" a pak je skutečně splnit.

Useful

It’s very rare that I am so very enthralled by a book on productivity and time management, but I found this one to be one of the best I’ve read so far.

The techniques are simple, well-thought-out, and easily applicable; and the way to book is laid out makes it even easier to take away what you need and learn how to deal with projects and tasks in a more effective way.

Overall, I’m really impressed and I’ll be purchasing a paper copy to rifle through whenever the mood strikes!

Highly recommended. Worth your time (pun intended)!

Recommended on simple dollar.

if you want to know how to classify task based on importance, urgency, or commitment, read this..

My miracle

This book focuses on method execution. The core point of view is the limitation, that is, limiting time and restricting the list. Essentially, it requires concentration, focusing on the present and focusing on limited events. The first half is very exciting, and the back is a bit embarrassing. The idea itself is worth five stars, and it works well with the content of Path of Least Resistance. It uses the gap between goal and reality as a driving force to build a selector system, plus the “focus on the present” in this book. . Overall rating 4 stars, recommended reading.

Mark Forster's Do it Tomorrow and Other Secrets is filled with common-sense advice and real-world problems with solutions. My biggest takeaways were the concepts of reducing randomness with a buffer and of creating and completing daily closed lists.

I've tried David Allen's GTD method and countless productivity apps. I captured everything I had to do, then prioritized what to do first, next, etc. My lists grew faster than I checked off items and deciding what to do next just became harder. Forster addresses this exact problem: each day you have to check off as many tasks as you added to the list yesterday. If you cannot, find out why and fix the problem. And he explains how. The book also deals with psychological issues causing procrastination and how to address them. Other productivity books teach you how to do more to become more stressed, overwhelmed, and burned out. This book teaches how to avoid it.

This is a powerful book on time management, a method that works for those of us that do not have a secretary and lots of people we can delegate to. It aims to get all the incoming work done within two days, except for longer running projects, and those are started within that time period. The basic idea is that the amount of new work that you get in a typical day is also the amount of work that you can handle in a typical day (or something is wrong with your workload). I learned a lot about planning my days.

I learned even more from Mark Forster's website. He gives information about new developments (and a first chapter of this book) on the website for free, and I strongly recommend visiting it. I am mixing the method in this book with the Autofocus method mentioned there at the moment, some days/weeks mostly working with daily lists made the day before (thus doing it tomorrow), but at other times working more with the general lists of the Autofocus method (I use version 4).

And for those wanting the most recent developments, Mark even gives his newest method away for free on his website, a sort of renewed version of the DIT method. The website is available on the autor-page.
