The TBYL book was a real eye opener and the solution to my constant frustration with trying to tame my email and stay organized at work.Like so many others, I first read Getting Things Done by David Allen.Allen's book provides you with the whole GTD concept but it fell short for me on implementation of GTD.Along came the answer, Sally McGhee's book on Take Back Your Life!It provided the level of detail I craved on how to make GTD work for me using the one and only tool I was already using ...

- Take Back Your Time
To summarize, Take Back Your Life (TBYL) is a derivative work - basically a loosely-gathered compilation of ideas and techniques ranging from the David Allen to the Stephen Covey.

Rating: - Great book to start getting organized
This book gives you great ideas about how to get organiazed and get things going. The only thing is that you will really need to use and get along MS Outlook pretty well, else you'll miss some of the tips and tricks in the book.
Pretty good start-up place for those who need some pointers at how to classify and prioritize tasks, events, items, and almost everything.
