Stabilire le priorità, delegare le mansioni, chiarire i propri obiettivi, diluire gli impegni, portare a termine le cose fondamentali, buttare nel cestino quelle che non lo sono: sono queste le strade che portano al successo, che voi siate studenti o manager, informatici o semplicemente persone con molti e diversi interessi. Questo libro vi offre gli strumenti per realizzare di più in minor tempo, permettendovi di riprendere il controllo della vostra vita: è infatti possibile affrontare tutti gli impegni senza ansia, tramite il GTD, Getting Things Done, un metodo di gestione del tempo che è oggi sinonimo di miglior efficienza e organizzazione personale.
GTD è l'acronimo di Getting Things Done, una sigla nota a tutti coloro che hanno già migliorato la loro vita con il programma di David Allen. Nel corso degli anni "Detto, fatto!" è diventato il manuale di riferimento per affrontare ogni tipo di impegno – lavoro, studio, intensa vita personale – in modo rapido ed efficace, e ha generato un'intera cultura di siti web, strumenti organizzativi, seminari e seguaci entusiasti. Ognuno di noi si scontra ogni giorno con l'impossibilità di fare tutto e con l'inevitabile rischio di trascurare le cose importanti o di prendere le decisioni sbagliate. Il metodo del mago della produttività personale ci insegna a raggiungere un obiettivo straordinario: aumentare la nostra capacità di organizzarci e diminuire l'ansia. L'efficienza, spiega Allen, è infatti direttamente proporzionale alla calma e alla lucidità con cui affrontiamo i problemi: solo con una mente sgombra i pensieri possono essere sistematici e la creatività può generare risultati. Passo dopo passo, il libro offre tutti gli strumenti per imparare a raccogliere le informazioni, esaminarle, organizzarle e verificarle per riuscire a gestire ogni impegno, portare a termine le cose fondamentali e… lasciar andare tutto ciò che non è prioritario. L'importante è capire che rallentare con intelligenza significa realizzare più cose in minor tempo, e soprattutto riprendere il controllo della propria vita.

I'm just Janet. I have strengths, weaknesses, fears, happiness, sadness. I experience joy and I experience pain. I'm highly emotional. I'm very vulnerable. And, as anyone who knows me will testify, I'm extremely sensitive. I have lifelong patterns of behaviour that have caused me difficulty - patterns tough to break. Like everyone, I have talents, but with those talents have come challenges. This book is about meeting the challenges that face all of us. For more than three decades, I've struggled with yo-yo dieting. Some of my battles with weight have been very public. But most of it has been internal. Even at my thinnest, when my body was being praised, I wasn't happy with what I saw or how I felt about myself. Infused with stories from fans and friends, Janet offers a candid look into the causes and circumstances behind some of her well-documented weight issues. Far more than a celebrity fitness manifesto, this book is a searingly honest account of the most tumultuous times of her life - from being taunted as a young girl to her internal battles with her beauty and femininity and her desire to fit in. It has taken Janet most of her adult life to come to terms with who she is. True You illuminates the path Janet took in learning how to love herself and finally break free of the attitudes that brought her down.
