Tiene tips que te pueden ayudar a mejorar eso si, si los tomas en cuenta. Tienes que ponerlo en práctica para ver si te funcionan a por ello.

There is a certain quadrant on how to manage your time. Using this formula of time management, we can boost our time efficiency- if your employee don't bring 80% of the total income, fire them. Stop multi-tasking- it's only a myth.

Has helped me to be more organized especially in my work. Short and straightforward tips and methodologies.
September 20, 2019
Time Management gurus have time and again reinforced basic concepts and principles that help us manage our time better. Yet, as we move into the future, with more time organising devices than ever, many of us wonder how hours and days slip by unnoticed. This is the issue that The Productivity Revolution seeks to address.
Before I started reading this book, it did occur to me for a moment, that most books on time management are about things that we already know, aren’t they? Well yes, says the author Marc Reklau. As he rightly puts it in The Productivity Revolution, “common sense is not common action! “So, the book promises an action-packed journey, after which you will hopefully have much more time on your hands! Love the tip-packed chapters!

It’s fine. It’s a decent overview of common ideas about productivity, and perhaps if I had never read a book about productivity, I’d be inspired. But it doesn’t really go into anything in great depth and it told me nothing new. It’s not really the books fault that I had read all the ideas before elsewhere, but because it didn’t go into depth, it was also not the most interesting version of these ideas. It is more like an outline of the productivity conversation.

The book is short, sweat and contain some little gems. Everybody should read who want to enhance productivity and thinking patterns. The book has been divided in 4 parts, that'll help to adapt good habits.

Este libro ofrece consejos prácticos para mejorar la gestión del tiempo y la productividad. Aunque son consejos útiles, me ha parecido que la información era un poco repetitiva y no ofrecía ideas nuevas. En general, le he dado una puntuación de 3 sobre 5.
En primer lugar, el autor asegura que es importante tener autoconocimiento y examinar cómo se invierte el tiempo, qué tareas son menos productivas pero requieren mucho tiempo, cuáles son las tareas más aburridas y en qué tareas se tiene mayor destreza y disfrute. A partir de ahí, se deben establecer metas alcanzables y plazos realistas, y tener claridad sobre qué se quiere lograr y por qué.
Es útil escribir las metas y tenerlas a mano para jerarquizarlas, enfocarse en ellas y recordarlas.
Para lograr una buena planificación, es necesario establecer plazos realistas, tener en cuenta los tiempos de descanso y hacer una buena estimación del tiempo que se necesita para cada tarea.
El autor cita algunos métodos populares de administración del tiempo, como el método Pomodoro, y consejos muy valiosos como apagar el teléfono o desconectar las notificaciones para no perder la concentración.
Otro argumento importante del libro es que es importante aprender a distinguir entre lo importante y lo urgente.
Por otro lado, es necesario aprender a pasar del tedio a la acción inmediata, para sacar adelante las tareas que menos ganas se tienen de hacer.
En definitiva, consejos y técnicas muy conocidas por los interesados por la mejora de productividad en su día a día. En ningún caso se trata de una revolución, como asegura el título del libro.

Libro ideal para las personas que sienten que nunca tienen tiempo para nada.
Nos muestra que el tiempo es oro, por esa razón las personas exitosas son personas tan ocupadas.
Da varias recomendaciones para mejorar nuestra productividad, muchos son las típicas, pero la más interesante bajo mi criterio ha sido la de planificar y gestionar el tiempo, establecer fecha límite o incluso horas límites para realizar actividades a contrarreloj , la de cuidar nuestro cuerpo como si fuese un templo y la de tener todo lo necesario cerca , para no tener que levantarnos nunca de la silla.
También es muy interesante el tema de las recompensas a nosotros mismos y los descansos.
Recomienda que si te quemas por tu trabajo, te tomes un descanso para poder a recuperar la motivación pérdida
También nos muestra que la actitud es de las cosas más importantes a la hora de mejorar la producción, si tenemos una buena salud psicológica todo será más fácil, para ello recomienda por ejemplo sonreír , aunque sea una Risa falsa, ya que tiene una gran cantidad de beneficios psicológicos.
Por último, nos advierte de los problemas de la multitarea y que si trabajamos con música evitemos la música con vocal, ya que la letra podría distraernos.
Le doy un total de 3 estrellas por los escasos conocimientos nuevos que realmente me ha aportado ya que es todo muy general.

One thing I enjoy about Reklau's books is that they are often short, sweet, and to the point. His book is all content, no fluff. I've read books like this in the past where I felt like they spent 3/4 of the book droning on about meaningless things. Reklau doesn't do that at all. This book was very straightforward with suggestions of how to improve my productivity. One of the things I loved most about this book is the fact that he makes it clear you aren't supposed to try to impliment all of the suggestions right away...it's just not possible. He encourages the reader to focus on the tips that work for them and move forward. I'm excited to see how his tips help to improve my productivity.

Just do it. Period.
An easy-going book with a lot of practical suggestions to improve productivity. The author is very clear about the goal of this book, and he tried his level best to communicate them in a friendly yet authoritative tone. Most of the suggestions have a scientific backup. But, some of them have no valid evidence. However, as the intention is good, the book won't do any harm. The thing is, you already know all this stuff; you are simply not following. Hence, the author is organising and connecting the ideas so that we can make them practical.

This is a quick and easy book that provides decent techniques for improving productivity. Techniques and recommendations include Pareto's principle (80/20 rule), proactively managing and planning schedule, batching, organization, declining additional work when needed, removing distractions (primarily cell phones, social media), and treating the mind/body with sufficient sleep, good diet, consistent exercise.

He escuchado este libro (mi segundo audiolibro) y la verdad es que me ha gustado mucho. Es muy sencillo, no te da técnicas súper novedosas que no supiese ya, pero lo explica muy bien y de forma muy clara. He ido cogiendo notas y la verdad que me ha animado ha seguir con este tipo de libros. Si buscáis un libro de productividad sencillo, os recomiendo mucho este. Pienso aplicar las técnicas de las que habla el autor.

A concise summary of all those productivity tricks.
This book is short, can be read in one long sitting (I finished it in about two hours), language is easy and there are fewer case studies but most of the tips and tricks are coming from writer's personal experience. Keep this book as a short summary of all those productivity trends.

This book tells us amazing ways about how to increase your productivity but frankly if you've read the book 30 Days by the same author then you'll find that mostly this book is repetitive and the ways are same. However the questions given to ask oneself are a great way to increase our knowledge of self. So a thumbs up from my end!

A short refresher book about all the things you already know to do, but probably don't. Make lists, get off the social media, wake up earlier, meditate ect ect. This is a perfect little book that hits the highlights of the greats like Covey, and Ziglar.

Great summary, touch upon every important topic
Short book, full of great advice. It’s touch upon almost every important aspect of productivity. It’s great if you are a beginner in productivity, and it,s a wonderful summary if you are not a beginner.

Es un libro muy general, tanto, que podrías encontrar el contenido de este libro en cualquier página web que hable sobre el mismo tema. Vamos, que no te dice nada nuevo si no es el primer texto que lees sobre productividad, pero seguro que algo le sacas si le pones empeño.

I received this from Good Reads to review. This book is excellent. It has a lot of information that I hope to put into practice.

Good, basic and spot on.
Enjoyed the time tested & fundamental reminders here - apply & the benefits will follow - you can’t deny the life logic.

Es un libro que da técnicas sencillas para ser más productivo. Lo mejor son los dos capítulos finales donde hace una síntesis de estas estrategias y los ladrones de tiempo más comunes.
