Some nice ideas and concepts with solid foundations, however it is not always possible to spend a day doing a certain thing or saying no to meeting requests. With flexibility comes governance.
An easy read with ideas I will mould to my particular circumstance.

An interesting way to look at your productivity and what drives it.
The productivity style is described well and then followed through to how it is applied well and not so well, so you can get out of it a process of picking up how to become more effective in your work and personal life.

This one of my favorite self development/personal improvement books. I liked the assessment at the beginning and found its results to be accurate for myself, as were the suggestions. It would be nice if there were a workbook to accompany it, for those that learn by writing.

이 책의 특징은 사람들을 4가지 갈래로 나누어 그에 맞는 조언을 한 점이다. 의학에서 사상의학과 비슷하다고 할 수 있다. 각각의 갈래의 사람들에게 어떤 방식이 효과적인지, 어떤 질문들을 주로 하는지를 알 수 있어서 유용했다.
다만 자가진단해 보니 나는 이 4가지 갈래의 어느 곳에도 크게 치우치지 않아서 조언을 제대로 따르기 어려웠다. 그리고 실천 방안에 대한 코치가 크게 와닿지 않았다.

I did it---I think I finally reached the limits of my love for personality frameworks. Either that, or I've also maxed out my love for hacking productivity.
Tate has lots of good advice in here, and I wrote notes on several sections but I also pulled from every personality style.

In some ways, this book is like the other goal setting, dream realizing books, except it's more charming than the norm.
In other ways, this book is awesome because it addresses ways to communicate/present info to people that work differently than you do and find it well received. Can you imagine? Landing on a team lead up by a visualizer and a prioritizer/planner, and knowing how to communicate with either of them and even help them communicate with one another? Gold!
The tips for organizing to your own productivity style aren't shabby, either, though I have had an interesting time trying to find out which style is mine. I scored a 3-way tie, so I'm going to play with different methods until I hit one or two that fit.

I had a revelation while reading this book: I already do all this stuff. For some reason, I continue to seek out books and articles about productivity when in fact, I could probably write a book like this myself. This was crystallized when I realized that my "personal productivity style" as outlined in the book is all of them! I believe Tate is very talented, and the insights in the book are important and powerful. They just weren't relevant to me.

I really liked the different productivity personality types. It makes a lot of sense why things that work for me (breaking up big projects into small tasks with deadlines) my husband finds unhelpful. Lots of customized tips for your type n
