I guess I was hoping for something that was more about personal life rather than work life, but the author did warn you in the beginning it was more geared toward work.
Overall I enjoyed the book but I’m not sure how much I will actually take into real life.

I have read all of Lauren’s books because they were all very relevant to my life at the time. In college, I devoured her book on succeeding in internships. After I graduated, I related hard to her book “Welcome to the Real World.” I was excited to pick up this book, now about five years into my career. I actually laughed when I read the back cover: “Why do I feel so busy all the time?” SO RELEVANT TO MY LIFE. This book was full of practical tips. I felt like it ended a bit soon (there wasn’t a conclusion section) and there were numerous typos which was a bit distracting, but I am glad I read Lauren’s latest!

This book is great for someone who is entering the workforce or is in their first or second job and needs reminders on managing workload, how to cope with failure, goal setting, personal social media management and self care just to name a few. My favorite/the most relevant chapters to me were 3-7. The only con I had for the book is that some of the concepts were a little oversimplified and catered to college interns more than adults in their second and third jobs.

I really enjoyed this! The terminology will date, and it was backed by anecdotal rather than academic evidence, but it was packed with great tips for productivity and getting noticed. I will definitely be taking things on board!

Super helpful and really makes the whole process of getting it together (pun intended) super digestible. The methods and tools provided are easy enough to setup and they truly hold you accountable for your own progress.

Some good nuggets here and there, enjoyed discussing w/book club, but not sure I would have even finished it without club meetings along the way...

Really liked the way she recommends you break down your goals

Terrible audio, but there are a few good points. Especially, to do with time-management.
It would probably be more enjoyable as a paperback, as the audio feels like a teenager giving you advice on life.

In the 1st couple of chapters, she talked to much that i lost what was the point she is trying to make!
In the later chapters she got to the point and gave some good points!
