Anna’s book is a crisp blend of self-help and practical guide, translating her passion for reading and disciplined habits into a highly actionable system for managing time and life. Her “life-hacking” approach is clear, structured, and refreshingly specific—particularly her journalling routines and diagrammatic documentation, which feel both authentic and immediately applicable.
Some of her ideas genuinely stand out. Her use of colour-coding in the iPhone calendar is a simple yet powerful technique that makes time visible and intentional—I found myself adopting it straightaway with tangible results.
That said, the book leaves room for deeper reflection. Anna frames her OCD traits as a “superpower,” which is both compelling and motivating, but slightly one-sided. A more nuanced account—one that also explores the challenges or vulnerabilities tied to these traits—would bring greater emotional depth and balance to an otherwise highly effective guide.
Overall, this is a smart, practical, and engaging manual for anyone serious about productivity—grounded in real habits, yet with space to grow into a more fully rounded narrative.
