If you take one thing away from this book it should be your newfound willingness to ask, "What's the next action?" This is the key to productivity. We amass To Do lists with amorphous tasks and avoid them like the plague because they stress us out. By breaking these down into Next Action lists we take away the stress and find that we're actually getting things done.
Allen has plenty more to say on the subject. I scanned the book because I was pretty organized when I started reading it but it definitely made an impact. I added the GTDInbox extension to my Gmail and LOVE IT!
General consensus: Worth a perusal. Possibly won't live up to the hype but has enough golden nuggets to make it worth your time.
