What I like about your recommendations is that you get a lot done, you like to find ways of getting even more done in a stress-free or low-stress way, and you pass on the info about the best you've found. Thanks.

I've found one of your recommendations helpful: Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity (David Allen, author). I went online, bought it, and read much of it. I've also looked at this one (How the Best Get Better) and recently read the (free) tips from ... I forget who (not from your site), but the thing I remember most from that one is: chunk your time, don't let incoming emails and phone calls eat your day. (These tips were connected to a coaching program, which I didn't go for. Wasn't sure I'd get enough.)

I appreciate, re time management:

One, suggestions for things I haven't tried (like the baskets and the suggestion to keep the filing cabinet within arm's reach from Getting Things Done;

Two, reinforcement of things I know and too often do not do (chunking, filing, etc).

So, again, thanks - as me too, I'm trying to get more done with less stress.

I've tried a lot of different "coaching", and sadly most of them turn out to be money-making scams that deliver little if any value and simply suck out my wallet (and time).

It would be great if there was a website/thing that separated the wheat from the crap. I'll certainly give this one a look.

Thanks Dr. M.
