I am not familiar with Jim Loehr’s method so I can’t comment. From what I read, I agree with the author’s assessment.</p> <P>My personal bottom line is that David Allen’s system was the most useful, Loehr’s the most energizing, and Covey’s the most profound. Whether I’ll be able to keep up all these new habits remains to be seen. All I know is that right now my office is now perfectly organized I’m clear about my life’s purpose.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/18EC98F8-F84B-4FC6-93E0-27164F7BA052/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
