I didn’t really learn anything new from this, like I could have written all these stuff as well hahah but it wasn’t that bad, it made me a bit motivated.

It’s the kind of book that you need to read multiple times and apply slowly to really benefit from

Reading this book doesn't make you stop procrastinating , but it has many useful tips to empower yourself and think again about your life goals and the way you percieve yourself . The most interesting ways that I liked most are : Take it one oil barrel at a time:You can accomplish the biggest and most
complicated job if you just complete it one step at a time. Practice creative procrastination: Since you can't do everything, you must learn to deliberately put off those tasks that are of low value so that you have enough time to do the few things that really count. And I liked also Do the most difficult task first.

Not a very impactful read. Just a collection of ideas to apply, though not citing any research how they work. The author just says "I've tried these things and my students have tried these things and they work, believe me". The Book is just around 100 pages but it doesn't need to be even this long, as many things are repeated again and again in different forms, sometimes in 3 points, sometimes in 10 points.
Also, I observed the author contradicting himself at a point where he says that deadlines don't work and people tend to make mistakes under the pressure of deadlines but later on in another chapter, contradicts himself saying that you should set artificial deadlines to do a more focused work and finish your tasks early. Don't know what to believe.
Overall, not a very powerful book and can be done away with just reading the summary and you'll gain almost as much knowledge as most of the things mentioned in the book are trivial, it's just that people lack the will to follow those advices.

Very work focused and didn’t feel as cross-applicable to general life situations. It also felt targeted to specific work environments.
