I've read so many productivity books over the past 30 years or so that many of the recommendations in this one I've already been using for years. I can vouch that they work! There's great advice in here! And yet there were still a few tips in this book that I had not stumbled upon before, and I will keep them in mind as I continually refine my own systems to keep my life running smoothly. I recommend this especially to adults who have not yet figured out a system that works for them, various options are presented here, some are bound to help you out!
