A great refresher! I picked this up in an airport when I had already finished the book I had packed and wanted something for the ride home. A lot of the tips I have already implemented like time blocking or distancing from people/things not in alignment with or detracting from my values and goals. Loved the reminder about how valuable morning pages are and have re-started 10 minutes/day free writing in a notebook, making lists for things to do/organizing by priority, decluttering. Nothing groundbreaking but these little habits add up to make an otherwise hectic, overwhelming schedule feel more organized with 15% space for surges at work or in personal life.

Well written and easy to devour. Just not for me, it would suit work from home/ corporate people I think. Nothing too groundbreaking.

Snippet of my review: If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your to-do list, in your personal or professional life, let productivity coach Donna McGeorge help you better manage your time. As the title of her new book suggests, it's possible to get a 1-day refund every week when you manage your time wisely. This means only giving 85 percent and allowing a 15 percent buffer "for capacity and space".

Yet again, what a compelling idea from Donna McGeorge for a productivity book. The 1-Day Refund tells us how to recover time and space in our lives. It’s an empowering and achievable approach. I appreciated McGeorge’s reminder that time saved should be invested in rest and personal priorities, not just in doing more. Her books are always punchy, powerful and easy to read and this one is among my favourites.
