I was a hardcore Franklin Covey method user for ten years before I finally discovered David Allen and GTD. As I found the work force and my own work habits and environment changing with the continuing development of technology, I found it harder and harder to get through my email inbox and my various creative projects. I felt like I just couldn't process or filter so much information, and day by day, no matter how much I wrote in my organizer and tried to plan and schedule everything out, I got further and further behind in my work and felt like I was always frazzled and unable to focus.

Based on recommendations from friends, I finally got this book to read about how I could handle all of this information overload. It was just fantastic - I felt something close to a revelatory experience as I read it. I felt as though David Allen was describing exactly my predicament - and he gives such a clear step by step method of how to deal with everything, without being rigid. In fact he advocates an idea of having, like a Jedi, "Mind like Water", so that we can have the structure to get things done but also the flexibility to adjust when unexpected things come up. Highly recommended!
