A really good approach to time management and related topics
4 stars
The author is a podcaster and content creator. I heard her as a guest on Cal Newport's podcast and thought I'd borrow her recent book from the library. The book is geared for readers who have tried other productivity systems and didn't click with them.
It's geared for women. But many of the topics and approaches also work for men. Overall she has a really good, down to earth way for one to look at their life and do several things to improve it. The book is chock full of words where the first letter is a term or phrase.
Probably geared for your bookshelf vs a library loan, one would need to revisit the book a few times as they begin to work on her plan. The book is a great reference and it was a quick read. It has a glossary, and a very interesting Pep Talk section …

Probably geared for your bookshelf vs a library loan, one would need to revisit the book a few times as they begin to work on her plan. The book is a great reference and it was a quick read. It has a glossary, and a very interesting Pep Talk section of many scenarios and a page, page and a half to hep you through that type of problem.
The chapters are pretty short, so it suits those who are real busy and may not be able to spend long periods reading.
That said, not everyone's productivity system will feel comfortable on you. It may work for a period of time and then you change, and need a different plan. Do read this book if you've had productivity problems, as maybe there are some new ideas to try out. You may want to re-read this in a year or two as well. This is a journey, not a race.
