Late last year, Amazon and other book-buying sites started showing placeholders for, "Making It All Work," a new book by Getting Things Done author David Allen that is coming out on December 30. Now, Amazon is showing a few more details, offering what appears to be a "back cover flap" description of book:Now, David Allen leads the world on a new path to achieve focus, control, and perspective. Throw out everything you know about productivity-- Making It All Work will make life and work a game you can win. For those who have already experienced the clarity of mind from reading Getting Things Done, Making It All Work will take the process to the next level.
David Allen shows us how to excel in dealing with our daily commitments, the unexpected, and the information overload that threatens to drown us. Making It All Work provides an instantly usable, success-building tool kit for staying ahead of the game.
Making It All Work addresses: how to figure out where you are in life and what you need; how to be your own consultant and a CEO of your life; moving from hope to trust in decision-making; when not to set goals; harnessing intuition, spontaneity, and serendipity; and why life is like business and business is like life.
December 30. Doesn't give me much time for a new David Allen-inspired life by January 1...

Too bad for DA that it's not coming out earlier. Say, in time for holiday gift-buying- I'm sure it would be a very popular choice for the families &c. of GTD junkies. But, I'm looking forward to it nonetheless!
Me, too!
But, yes, that does seem like odd timing for the release. Aside from missing the gift-giving opportunities, lots of people start thinking about New Year's resolutions and "making changes" in the new year even before the holidays.
I think they'd have been smarter to release it just after Thanksgiving...
