1 - Getting Things Done (GTD) by Dave Allen. Why: This book got me more promotions at work than anything else I have read (and Ive read lots of self help, career, personal organisation books). Its a system I still follow since I started to use it 4 years ago. Cant recommend this enough. It will put your in the top 1% of productivity which, if your like me, means you can slack off and take smoke breaks more often. ;-)

Just ordered this one! Thanks for the recommendation.

I already own the book. Sadly I lacked the Discipline to apply the system longer than 1 month
I'll try to give it a Re-Run though

Is that book similar to "Mastery" by G. Leonard?

I didn't read that book.
But judging from a quick research I think the Mastery book is more about emotional Self-Improvement while Getting things Done is pretty much technical Help to improve your Self/Time Management, mostly focused on your current Job/school.

GTD just helps you keeping track of things you have to do, breaking those things down in small Steps further helping you to get your head off things and focus on the task at hand.
