Discover David Allen's powerful productivity principles and vastly increase your ability to work better, not harder — every day.
The "guru of personal productivity" — Fast Company — asks listeners what's holding them back and shows how all of us can be "ready for anything" — with a clear mind, a clear deck, and clear intentions.
Ready for Anything offers you ways to immediately:
  • Clear your head for creativity
  • Focus your attention
  • Create structures that work
  • Take action to get things moving

    Allen's simple yet powerful principles help us master the mental game of productivity — what he calls "managing your mind, not your time." In motivational, bite-size lessons, we learn how to bring the calm focus of the martial artist to the onslaught of choices, decisions, and new circumstances we are faced with daily. Each principle — from "speed up by slowing down" to "the value of a future goal is the present change it fosters" — encourages us to think in fresh ways and to take action in order to achieve more relaxed control, ease, and fun in all our activities.
    With wit, inspiration, and know-how, Ready for Anything shows us how to make things happen with less effort, stress, and ineffectiveness, and lots more energy, creativity, and clarity. This is the perfect audiobook for anyone wanting to work and live at their very best.

        An audio with how-to and philosophical ambitions succeeds on both accounts as the author takes productivity principles and practice to a whole new level. Allen is very psychologically minded--keenly aware of the attitude shifts people experience when certain strategies are put into play. He's very prescriptive, urging us to get little things done, work through blocks, and jettison defunct strategies that protect us from new directions. He's eloquent when exhorting us to tap into deeper levels of meaning before starting on any path and especially before involving others in our purpose. These are cutting-edge ideas on productivity, especially when dealing with the gnarly issue of setting up structures in our lives that really work--structures that eliminate behavioral clutter and keep us on track.
