I am good about getting things done.
I am good at getting things done.
So says my grammar book…
But why "about"?
Isn't it "at"?
Is it the same?

"I'm good about" is a colloquial expression, similar to "good at," but expressing a tendency to be disciplined about certain things, and can be trusted to do them:
"I'm good at" expresses a talent or affinity for something:
In your sentences, the first one expresses that the speaker knows that things have to get done and is disciplined about doing that, does them in a timely manner. In the second sentence, the speaker is very talented in that respect and knows how to get things done, it a good time manager, etc.
