A valuable addition to the GTD series of books.

Reaffirmed the GTD thinking with clear applications for those wanting to grip the seeming chaos of their lives. I found it really helpful in providing ways to start the process and understand how to gradually establish trust in the system you have developed using the GTD thinking/principles. A great listen.

Excellent audio book!

This is an excellent audio book read by the author David Allen. If you've read Getting Things Done then you'll love this too. It's a very easy down to earth way of putting these great ideas into practice!

make sense therotically but...

always hard to be put into practice. David's narration is too fast but fortunately this app can play in half-speed

Not bad. Unnecessary if you've read GTD

Good stuff, but nothing new. A bit dry.

Implementing the system is hard for most people, but it is worth it.

A times less classic

As relevant as ever, as useful as ever, this needs to be kept in your library for continual referral

Much better than I expected

I had thought this might be a cheesy this is what you have to do book, but to be fair the author let's you take away what works for you.Not all the ideas will work for everyone but I took away some actionable items that have streamlined my in tray. Definitely worth a listen.

Get this done!

What made the experience of listening to Getting Things Done With Work-Life Balance the most enjoyable?

I have been a fan of the GTD principle for some time, I have read several books, both by David Allen and other authors. I admit to being a follower, so may be a little biased. But as someone who balance law and medicine along with a busy life in general GTD is perfect. If you are knew to it, or want more information, what is better than hearing it from the horses mouth!!

What other book might you compare Getting Things Done With Work-Life Balance to, and why?

There are other books by David Allen, so I could compare it to them, but thats probably not what this question is after. GTD, to me, is a fundamentally different process to most other organisational philosophies out there. However it is essentially a self help/organisation book, so its format is similar to most of those.

Have you listened to any of David Allen’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I have listen to his other audio work and interviews, this one is such as logical and well structured. It covers everything you need to implement GTD.
