“Remember that if you don't prioritize your life someone else will.”
It started out very well and I felt the author made some good points but it became redundant fast. The ideas and anecdotes got too repetitive. It just didn't have enough to stand on for 260 pages.
Listened to the audiobook, which I enjoyed, but if I read it I probably would have rolled my eyes more.
I especially enjoyed multitasking v multi-focusing (especially since I listen to audiobooks while commuting or tidying) and listening to the remarks about Ghandi and other notable figures.
At times it came off too much as a ‘motivational speaker' which isn't my favorite style, but I tried to focus on the main message which I have a hard time disagreeing with.
Might check out some of the other books he mentioned – but only if I can get them in audio format.
A lot of good reminders and tips on how to focus on the essential. Parts are a bit cheesy but still a real good book
