4.5 starsWell this book is a game changer! It has inspired me to get in control of the stress in my life and improve the way that I learn and approach new information.Already I have taken away some great new skills from it and I am sure I will be referring back to it time and again!
It's really helpful and teaches you how to focus and stop stressing over the little things. I would definitely recommend it!
I loved this book so much! It gave me great tips for studying and assessments - exactly what I need.
This is a good book for High School Students as it uses more modern language, isn't too difficult to understand, and gives a detailed, blow by blow set of instructions of how to study, do research and their assessments. It is though more for older students in the sense that it is word heavy and only a few templates and images. Allcott though tries hard with his use of language though to be accepted by teens.
This is a well-rounded book about how to study for university or for life. It touches on GTD techniques, pomodoro technique and mindfulness, tailored for studying. Takeaways:1) Fun points system. You earn half a point for studying half an hour. You can use the accumulated points for leisure. (Label each leisure with some points)2) Power Hour. Set an hour of time each day to do something that can make you successful.
As a stand alone it is a decent book, but it is not original in any way. Let alone adding much to Allcott´s ´How to become a productivity ninja.´ Since I would still recommend productivity ninja before this one, and because I dislike authors repackaging the same content in different covers this book deserves, in my opinion, no more than three stars.
very british
Fantastic book with great techniques to use for people who want to be more organised in their study lives (and personal lives as well!). It is a surprisingly easy read for a 'self-help' book - if you want to put that label on it. I was reading this book on public transport a lot of the time so I didn't do all of the exercises at the time of reading but after finishing the book I went back and did the exercises when I was at home. Definitely recommend for people starting study who have a problem
Helpful tips to becoming a more successful student. Quick read with useful summations at the end of each chapter. References available for readers desiring more details.
The Productivity Ninja written for students. Still good though.
This book would be useful for people who have never been exposed to methods which help make them more productive. It mostly contains methods and ways you can become more productive by using certain methods that can be quite well known. So if you are looking for something revolutionary, this book is not the one for you. This book suggests quite a few methods that may not be scientifically proven to make one more effective. These are methods which do not aim to solve the problem/issue at the root
