Yakobus Cavell here. I first read Getting Things Done in 2003 – about two years after David Allen’s seminal book was first published. I read his follow up Making It All Work: Winning at the Game of Work and the Business of Life almost immediately after it was released in 2008. For some reason I didn’t get around to reading Ready for Anything: 52 Productivity Principles for Getting Things Done until this past September.

The more democratic the world’s societies are, the more idiosyncratic they will be, and the more their economic rules will diverge. But that is exactly what businesses cannot tolerate — at least not under globalization. Money and goods must be able to move frictionlessly and efficiently across borders. This requires a uniform set of laws. Somehow, democracy is going to have to give way.
