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.

some decent strategies and framing drowned in "add me to your professional network on linkedin" energy

There is a lot of story telling in this book (to make it a book instead of a single chapter), but to accommodate the readers that just want the tips, the authors nicely summarize the main points throughout and at the end of each chapter. So this could either be a couple day read or an hour read. Either way, I think you will get something out of this if you are looking for ways to be a better steward of your time.
