Another great book.Once again, reading another book has made me a more valued employee that is working less hours and getting more done with less stress. Easy to follow book.
Well organized, to the pointThe book is well laid out. Some redundancy, but nothing is belabored. Action plans make sense and are offered cafeteria style - use what fits your situation. The different "tracking" suggestions are fine if one is really clueless about one's daily life, but for the most part, the tracking eats up too much time.
Great readI really enjoyed this book. Lots of great tips and actionable items that can be applied immediately. I started using some of the tips at work and already noticed a difference!
Good Read, BUT...This quick to read book is packed with great ideas but it is a little repetitive at times. (Although, I was listening to his ‘Fast Focus’ book as an audiobook in the same time, period I was reading this, so maybe that’s why it seemed repetitive?).Also, reading this is a waste of time if you’re not prepared to implement any of the strategies and techniques given by the author. 😳
Simple but effectiveProductivity is something I've had a lot of trouble with throughout my life. Why be productive when I can play videogames, surf the web for hours, or binge watch TV? But being in a band has led to a change where I HAVE to stay productive in order for us to achieve our goals. This guide is pretty straightforward and simple. To be honest, most of the steps are common sense. But it's really good to acknowledge that these things are interfering in your productivity every day. Thi...
Read this book. It helped me enormously.As a dyslexic and ADD man, I have to say that it was a real pleasure reading this book and making notes from it. I definitely will be putting the great advice here to good use both in my working life and personal life. I have already purchased the next volume of 30 day productivity. Best. Sean
The literally equivalent of instant noodles. Where it tries to be positive it is naive, when it tries to be broad and worldly it is soggy and without focus.The tips to health and burnout are cringeworthy. The biggest problem with burnout seems to be it hurts your productivity in five ways. Focusing exercise on movements that bares results ignores muscle imbalance etc. Wanted to like it. But this is a literary delight you want to send back to the kitchen.
Too preachyThis short guide to being more productive has some good suggestions, but the writer's tone is too preachy. Instead, I would have been more engaged if he shared personal stories and antidotes that suggest ways to be more productive, rather than numerous paragraphs and chapter headings starting in the negative: stop this, do this, don't.... Again, the book has good suggestions, but you may not find the writing inspiring.
Some great tips for anybody who is even remotely self-aware about their productivity habits. Not everything here will apply to everybody, but Zahariades doesn't expect that. He also doesn't expect you to read in one sitting, but rather take it one day (or week) at a time to implement small changes. This will also be a great reference to open from time to time to review tips and steps to take to get back on track!
Great tips for taking action to improve productivityI enjoyed this book. It was a very quick read with lots of useful advice for breaking bad habits and replacing them with better habits. The chapter on burnout really hit home for me. Looking forward to using this book as a guide for making small improvements over the next several months. Highly recommended.
Sent my drunken butterfly to AAI have ADD and this got me back on track, covering everything from rising early to blocking stress. My favorite chapter? Procrastination, aka ADD management. Thanks, Damon.
Great information Lots of great information but it’s written like a research paper. Even still, the content is good. If you’re simply looking for a list of great ideas this is the book for you.
