This is a good book to get you motivated to change habits. I picked it up on the recommendation of a friend and it made for good reading when I was feeling non-productive. There are a lot of good ideas even if the sports references and business references are a bit heavy handed. Overall, a decent read.

"Anytime you fell frustrated, pull out a piece of paper and create your own Can and Cannnot" control chart. Doing so will help jump-start you into action toward those things you can control in life.

I've been meaning to review this book for a month. Which goes to show how much I needed it. I'm about to pull it back off the bookshelf and pick one of the tips to implement again. I remember thinking the whole time I was reading it that this book was mis-titled. It really doesn't have anything to do with organizing. It's about mental hacks. It's a great book, and I've recommended it to a ton of people. But don't be surprised by the lack of organization!

I've used tips from this book to improve my productivity and work, as well as to better maintain my projects there. The skills here are ones I've shared with colleagues and teammates and that I keep coming back to. They could have used a better editor for the book, but the knowledge is A+.

Some nice practical tips towards the beginning, but towards the end the book was weaker. When discussing theoretical concepts, it was at its weakest.

Practical and helpful suggestions about how to plan and organize your days. I'm going to be incorporating a number of these suggestions.
