💭 My thoughts...

3/5 stars

I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book, but a collection of short articles was not it. I am undecided on whether I wanted more detail on what was discussed or whether the format worked well for holding my attention - it's probably a bit of both.

I listened to the audiobook for this, which I think was the right call, because the author read the book himself and his personality really helped the book land in a positive way. I also appreciated that he was very self-deprecating and made no illusions about the fact that he still struggles to get it right all the time, even after 10 years of practice.

While the topics discussed and tips shared are not groundbreaking for anyone who has done any previous reading on productivity, I particularly enjoyed how the author revisited his original writing and added new thoughts and learnings to demonstrate the evolution of his approach over time. He was able to do this because he recorded the audiobook a couple of years after releasing the book - another reason why I feel the audiobook format was the right choice here.

📖 Synopsis...

A collection of short articles about how we can avoid procrastination and get more of the important things done consistently, combined together with a revisitation of the author's original writings from a perspective of a few years later with additional learnings and thoughts.
