بسم من خلق فهدى

يحتوي الكتاب على نصائح جيدة لمن يعاني من ضيق الوقت وكثرة المهام وعلى وجه الخصوص في ميدان العمل \ الدراسة ..

أعجبني في الكتاب أنه مكتوب بأسلوب واضح ومبسط . يقدم جون كونت ( الكتاب ) أدوات وأساليب حديثة وفعّالة تربط بين التكنولوجيا وتنظيم الذات

إذا كنت مسؤولًا في شركة ما \ معلمًا فهذا الكتاب مناسب جدًا لما يحتويه من أفكار خلّاقة قد تخلصك من زوبعة الفوضى \ مضيعة الوقت \ التذبذب والتشتت

لا أخفيكم أنني شعرت بالملل في الصفحات الأخيرة أثناء قراءتي لهذا الكتاب وكأنني استمع لمحاضرة لأحد المدربين في التنمية البشرية فهو بطبيعة الحال كتاب للتطوير الذاتي

الفصل الرابع هو سيد فصول الكتاب بلا منازع وتحديدًا حينما يتطرق جون إلى القراءة السريعة التي تعد أكثر أنواع القراءة فاعلية ، فعن طريق القراءة السريعة ستتمكن من استيعاب زّبدة أو خلاصة الأفكار المطروحة في أي كتاب أو نص وهذا من ِشأنه أن يحسّن من المستوى الإدراكي للقارئ

إلى أن نلتقي في كتاب ٍ آخر

Here is a quite thin guide, packed full of useful and helpful advice to assist you in being a better-organized person. You just need to be organized enough to admit there may be a problem, buy the book and then read it…

Once you start reading, knowledge and tips immediately flow, letting you examine your current situation and showing you ways of getting on top of everything - becoming an organised super-being in the process. What will you do with the extra time and efficiencies that this book will help you achieve?

This is not a new book – it is a fifth revision – so you are getting the benefit of an updated, well-received book to guide you. Even “modern things” such as smart phones, the Internet and other technological aids are considered. Even if you claim to be so overworked that you don’t have time to read a lengthy book fear not! The author has thought of that and each self-contained chapter gets directly to the point. If you have so little time, take a minute or two extra and take the book with you to the “littlest room in the house” (or office).

The book doesn’t preach, patronise or fall back on faux hyperbole. You get a situation report and guidance for possible change. Nothing more, nothing less. Even the more-organised of us should have nothing to fear from this book; it only takes one little tip to improve matters further and you’ve boosted your efficiency and organisation.

If you need it, this book can help you with a drastic renovation of your life. If you think it might just help with a slight spring clean or polish, it can equally spring to your aid. It gives what you ask it to do, in other words. Definitely worthy of consideration.

2022 Edition - I am normally an organised person but recently haven't been on top of things as I should. I saw this book in the library and thought it might help motivate me. If you are disorganised, especially at work, it will guide and prompt you to self reflect, encouraging you to act or utilise tools differently. For me, it provided some useful ideas and refreshed my memory on others. I skimmed through, taking notes on key takeaways. A short book that's to the point. Remember, it is only a tool, you will need to apply the guidance, put in the work and effort to become who you want to be - a more organised and effective person.

I've been listening to this before bed, in hope of getting my act together. Some advice was good, other advice was not for me.

[Heather Larcombe · Rating 3 out of 5]

Solid advice well presented. Lots of not-really-applicable things, but that will vary based on your job.

[Gabrielle Messier · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an amazing book with helpful tips and very good information about how to "Be organized" just as the title says not only on the work environment but also on a daily life, family matters, self-development and time management, I wanted to read these book to get a more clear view of how to address certain aspect of my life to be more efficient and productive, and with these title I can say I got motivated to make a change and most importantly through some exercises found in this book I was able to target my "Weaknesses" and now I know how to get rid of them.

Note: I received a digital copy of this title for an unbiased opinion and reviewing purposes.

This is a great resource, which gives practical suggestions to help you become more organized. I look forward to trying out some of the suggestions and work through some of the activities to get my work and life more organized. Most of the suggestions are obvious, but seeing them together and described in the book's way, it makes more sense and allows the reader to pick and choose the best methods for themselves.

I am someone who is pretty organised, but being so is definitely an effort due to my neurodivergence and I am always looking for tips and advice on better, easier ways to be organised, whilst reducing stress and mental load. This book contained a lot of advice that I already follow, but which would be helpful to someone who has previously been disorganised and is trying to get themselves out of chaos - but I also found several nuggets of gold that will be very helpful to me.

A surprisingly concise and dense book on organization, lots of application suggestions with little space spent on "explaining" why it's hard to be organized and productive. I've heard all those things multiple times over, so it was nice to just get a book on advice + actions to take. Audiobook is dated 2018 so some of the tech suggestions are slightly outdated.

A very good book, full of ideas and advice. I think it's always great to learn something new to apply to our everyday and work life.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Alıştırmalarla desteklenen öneriler oldukça faydalı olmuş. Adhd gibi bir nöroçeşitliliğe sahip insanların tüm önerileri gerçekleştirmesi mümkün değil ama en azından faydası olacak notlar almam iyi oluyor

Love it.

I am the most disorganised person in the world but I'm hoping that if I continue to take advice from this book then thst will soon change!

[Cristie Underwood · Rating 4 out of 5]

Honest and in-depth advice for reaching your full potential. This advice is presented in easy to follow language that can be broken up and applied in pieces at a time.

[roxi Net · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great, and seemingly simple series; sometimes we need reminders on how to organize ourselves (and KEEP organized). The benefits of being organized are immense -- peace of mind, work efficiency, self-confidence, and so much more (in my case, I actually sleep better). Having the tips and tricks suggested and collated in "How to Organize Yourself" is extremely helpful and a good resource to have on hand..
