Good Refresher
This quick read serves as a good refresher if you are already familiar with “Getting Things Done,” and need some reminders on how the system works so you can get back on track. It is not a suitable replacement for the uninitiated who are looking to bypass the complete book.

Good, Simple take on GTD
Great book if you want a simple take on the GTD principles. It was a fast read and well written. The visuals worked well to illustrate certain points of the book.

An excellent book for someone like me who fell of the GTD wagon. I've read the full Brad Allen book a few times but this is a great way to review it quickly. If you haven not read the full book before though skip this and read the full GTD book.

GTD
If you only have a few minutes to quickly review the Getting Things Done technique, this is a good crash course to get you started.

Practical outline
Practical outline of GTD, I have the book but wanted a summary of the actual process without having to reread the book. This is it and well done.

Great summary
This was great. So many business books are filled with so much fluff. I think I'll look for summaries for all my future business and productivity books. I'm going to buy the full version of GTD now. But I think I'll be able to move through it much quicker having read the summary first.

Great Review of the GTD
Great Review of the GTD I liked it's clarity. You need to read getting thing done first. It don't stress key points like the fact that the weekly review is so critical. I do wish that it had a review of the available tolls and is somewhat out of date regarding those tools. All in all well worth the investment.

I read the complete book some years ago, but now I was looking for a summary to recall the main topics. This little book was exactly what I was looking for. Short, direct and with all main topics of the original book. A good reference.

Not Useful
This cheat sheet doesn't really even capture the basics of the book much better summaries are easily found with a quick online search. Don't waste $2.99 on it.

Quick read, makes sense
Gave me enough information to know that this is something that I will dig deeper into. Will be picking up GTD and putting on my list.
