The Art of Laziness by Library Mindset

My review

2/5 stars

This was a short, sharp offering on tackling procrastination and boosting productivity - something I'm always aiming for. This particular book didn't really give me anything useful though.

There were some quotable nuggets that I wrote down, for example:

"If you spend your time chasing butterflies, they'll fly away. But if you spend your time making a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come. Don't chase, attract."

and

"The goal of becoming more productive is not to work more, but the opposite. The goal is to get your work done in less time so that you can spend time with your friends and family."

In spite of the nice way that some of the information was packaged, I struggled to find anything that made a difference to my approach to things, and actually found the content very repetitive and, at times, poorly edited.

Not for me this one, but I'm sure it would prove more insightful to someone who has not done much reading on the subject.
