  2. How to get immediate control of “current reality”
  3. How to keep track of the total inventory of your commitments
  4. Why organizational issues are often personal process issues
  5. Why it’s so challenging to change the simplest habits

Chris Taylor, editor for Goose Educational Media, wrote up a detailed book review of Making It All Work that we thought you may find helpful. He wrote:

We broke the review into two parts, as I felt Making it all Work really lent itself to that format.

Part 1, focusing on control
Part 2, focusing on perspective

You can also read their review of GTD. Enjoy!
