21 Little Gems A summary of simple and easy steps to boost your productivity in a slim, easily read book that's suitable for even the most time pressured of people. With plenty of tips and ideas that you can dip in and out of when you need it, to help deal with the habit of putting things off. It's on my recommended reading list for clients and is a great addition to any busy person's bookshelf.
You can't even make the excuse that you don't have time to read it, each chapter is only a few pages long with a handy summary/action section after each one.
hard to swallow I wanted very much to like this book. Normally I will read an excellent book cover to cover only taking time off to eat, sleep, and go to work. A good book I will typically read a chapter a day, every day. Although this book has some decent advice, it is a very dry read. I have had for over a month now and am only a third through it.
Eat that Frog Don't look at the title - but the author! This is an excellent book with tips on how to be more productive and stop procrastinating!
no fluff, excellent! I purchased the audio version of this book and listen to it over and over. Brian has a very positive and soothing voice and gets right to the point. No fluff. If you want fluff and lots of complicated language, check out Getting Things Done by David Allen. I started in on Allen's book and put it down after a few pages because Eat That Frog is so much simpler and concise. I like to play Eat that Frog and The Ultimate Goals Program over and over again in my car.
It's Not Rocket Science I couldn't think of a more apt title for this book. We all know that procrastination is what holds us back from being successful. Sadly it's often the hardest most disagreeable tasks that get the best results. This book is not reinventing the wheel but a quick read that teaches you simple principles that make all the difference. The main idea being if you tackle your worst job first the rest of the day should be relatively painless.
Sure the print is large and the book is thin but how much do you need to read to realize you've got to get out there and do your work? It's common sense.
I liked the book it was just what I needed when my motivation was flagging. I figure the cost is worth what you get back and it wouldn't hurt anyone to read it once a year to stay on track. I actually also have the audio book and it fills a long drive nicely.
