I enjoyed this book. It takes a contrarian view to productivity. Think of this book that comes after you've read everything on motivation, productivity and mastery and you're still frustrated by all the things you expect of yourself and fail. Well, this books makes you face your mortality. It addressed the underlying reason for your discomfort: your limited time, your finite-ness. Till you embrace you can't do everything, you'll always feel inadequate. This books helps to reframe the human experience. Once you embrace your limitations... you are set free from angst.

great science fiction!

The author has a knack for great (and often hilarious) writing. It's surprising to read a great story that was written so recently. I did expect more from the story progression but then there's book 2 and 3 as well. This book is smart, has a number of interesting sci fi ideas and themes.

could've been a blog post, but some useful nuggets

If you're early in your productivity journey, this can be a helpful primer. It can get very proscriptive, which works for a beginner. Not as great for someone mid way in their journey and they already know how to get things done. The key take away is to aim high and work constantly to achieve those goals.

The singular most important book on sales

Quick easy read. If you have a feeling multitasking doesn't work, this book reinforces it. It gives you tips on how to monotask and how to monotask but most of the advice as you read it is obvious. I felt this could've been a blog post but you may need the additional push, stories and reinforcement considering how big an epidemic is multitasking.
