"Getting Things Done" by David Allen

It is a comprehensive guide aimed at enhancing productivity and reducing stress. This system encourages the organization of tasks into actionable lists and emphasizes the importance of regular reviews to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. GTD stands out by advocating for a collection bucket concept, where tasks are externalized from the mind to a trusted system, allowing for full concentration on the task at hand. Updated to accommodate the digital age, GTD remains timeless and adaptable, proving effective whether implemented through paper-based systems or digital apps. This manual not only offers a method for managing tasks but also provides a philosophy for a more organized, stress-free approach to work and life.
