A way to record every task outside your head and break it into actions
The book came out in 2001, and Penguin Books issued a revised edition in 2015. It describes the productivity program David Allen created. The method moves planned tasks out of the mind by recording them externally and breaking them into actionable items, so a person can focus on the current project without distraction. Allen's later books include Ready for Anything (2003) and Making It All Work (2008).
