shanvan Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 In the past books like The Happiness Project and Getting Things Done have sparked some great discussions here. Anyone have suggestions for similar books? I never end up following completely a 'system' designed by anyone else, but I do enjoy reading about how other people organize their time. Anyone doing any reading like this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) I'll be doing my annual re-reading of GTD in an attempt to get it to work for me :lol: I'd also love to hear about reading people are doing or have done. I will say, though, that I think I've finally created a system that is what I need it to be, if I don't weigh it down with a bunch of other requirements (which is probably why GTD loses me at a certain point). I think I'm also going to re-read Switch (I don't remember much of it, it's been awhile) and The Power of Habit. :lurk5: ETA: Oooh, this looks interesting too. And I've also heard good things about the 4-Hour Workweek--mainly that it's mostly throwaway but that there are a few takeaways that are really valuable. It's free via our audio library, so I can commit to listening to it, at least :D ETA again: Here's a Happiness Project-type book that looks interesting: https://www.amazon.com/Productivity-Project-Accomplishing-Managing-Attention/dp/1101904038/ Edited December 29, 2016 by ILiveInFlipFlops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I want to read Overwhelmed, by Brigid Schulte. Ever since I heard "time confetti" mentioned here, I've been interested in eliminating it from my life and generating blocks of free time for myself and for my boys. I think I've done a decent job, but I'd love to read more about it. Not quite organization, but maybe it is. I'm getting into the less is more approach to life the lazier I get. :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanvan Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 All good suggestions. I had The Power of Habit on my list to read, but I got sidetracked (b/c I am Overwhelmed)! And, so, of course, Overwhelmed has great appeal to me! :laugh: Forgot about Switch too. Have not read it yet. Thanks for the ideas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Julie Morganstern's Organizing from the Inside Out is a good book--both for the organizing parts and for the why of how it all works parts. She made me realize some deep seated things that were hobbling my organizing attempts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathy_overman Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I have been enjoying Life on Purpose. It is not so much about time management, but how when we have a defined purpose we are happier, healthier and achieve "more." We define what our "more" is to be by our purpose. I love the idea and hope to define my purpose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 No joke...I was trying to put a book on organizing on hold at the library. Unfortunately, it was categorized as "lost." :lol: I look forward to what titles people reference on this thread. Always looking for good ideas! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
