Productivity, Effectiveness, Efficiency - my constant areas of self-improvement. 🤓

In search of personal effectiveness, daily efforts optimization, and time management this book is the right book to read. 🤗

I would rate it 4 out of 5.

People inevitably start out with an opinion, to ask them for the facts first is even undesirable, they will only do what everyone is far too prone to do anyhow: look for the facts that fit the conclusion they have already reached.

My only critique is that a single playthrough on an audiobook format isn't nearly enough to extract the wealth of insightful knowledge this book has to offer. I will need to buy a physical copy and a set of highlighters for round 2.

This is interesting because I usually test ENTJ (Commander) but today came up as ESTJ-A (Executive.) I think this is a less inspiring but more accurate description of my personality especially at work, where I'm often the one person willing to speak up, to be direct about tough stuff, and advocate for the people I supervise. I fight the power within the limits of acceptable behavior. Order from chaos! Or as one person puts it, herding cats.

Reecaspieces I a, constantly “directing traffic” at work. So I understand. 7y
