Review of 'Work simply' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

This book brings various productivity strategies based on what the author calls personal productivity styles. There is a questionnaire to help us identify what is our primary style. There are tips on how to write emails, how to manage emails, meeting strategies, task management, note-taking tips. But the core of getting organized is very similar to what is presented in David Allen's "Getting Things Done" method. The good-old "capture, clarify, organize, do". Some things I think were overgeneralized according to the productivity style, like linking a person's style to how she decorates her office.
