Zzzzzzzz

[James Dere]

I have this book 4 stars because I believe it achieves what it sets out to do - act as a quick reminder and summary of productivity hacks.

[Daniel Facchin]

Didn't really offer anything new or revolutionary. Could easily find this information on YouTube. If you do read this book, you could save yourself some time and read the chapter summaries.

[Mack Topa]

I've read this book a few times and it's good. It's a quick read and it's a nice motivator every once in awhile.

Nothing unique to offer, same stuff wrapped in different packet

One extra star just because of the writing style of author
Summarizing a chapter at the end in a nutshell is a good idea for any self help book

[Justin]

Either a solid and good introduction to the key aspects of Productivity that are covered in more depth in other titles or else a very good refresher for those that know a lot of this type of material or have read said book that cover aspects in more depth.

- pain of procrastination is worse than pain of doing
- Motivation comes from doing, you need to start.
- Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. No choice is worse than a wrong choice. Trust your gut and do it
- Persistence over talent. Remove distractions
