Getting &@*# Done!, August 18, 2006
Reviewer: LOLDavid
from Los Angeles, California
43 Folders is full of productivity tidbits to propel you toward higher productivity. It's a perfect length and it's good to step back (if only briefly) and think about how much you are getting done and how much you could be getting done if you were doing it differently.
