It was okay, was kind of a new perspective on getting things done but overall wasn’t anything that hasn’t been said before in other “self-help” books of this kind

(Tried to read this in February 2024)
- You know what’s funny? I was doing so well on my own 12 Week Year (actually 10) plan I created after watching a couple of youtube videos, then I attempted to listen to this audiobook and I haven’t done anything from that plan for almost 2 weeks 🧍🏽♀️
- This was SO short, I started it at breakfast hoping to finish it that same day but this was so damn slow and boring, then I picked it up again after five days and I was so over it, every sentence felt like an eternity.
- I truly dislike non fiction books lol I went through my TBR again after DNFing this and deleted some.
- The thing that truly made me DNF this is the fact that I was not retaining a single thing from the information here, and I do have a good memory! I could recall an entire book I read years ago but I can’t tell you a single lesson from this even when I was actively reading this lol

Way too business lifestyle related to suit my needs as a stay at home carer. Some interesting concepts, but no indication the authors considered non traditional/ business uses.

Listened to the audio book. There were a few tidbits here and there that I probably would have liked to write down for later, but since it was audio, I didn't and I'm not too upset about that. The rest was very bro-coded with a capitalist mindset. This is fine and dandy (like what else is new?) and everything in here would be pretty easily achievable (as they've instructed) if you're a man. I'm not saying women couldn't do it too (we have always had to insert ourselves into the patriarchy and it's rules and structures), but I feel like it's not helpful for women and shouldn't be used as a guideline for us. And frankly, I'm tired of having to work on the patriarchy's schedule, system, and clock.
I also absolutely hated some of the examples used within the book. The diet ones being a big one. No, it really isn't that easy for some people to lose weight otherwise there wouldn't be a trillion dollar weight loss industry. And one example was literally someone describing something inherent to their personality being the thing interrupting their success at their job (because the job went against every fibre of their being) and the solution? Buckle down and force yourself to do it and he did and he's successful. But is he happy? (Doing something he literally said a minute ago he really really hated doing??) It was a lot of this sort of stuff, that really toxic grind it culture so you can eventually play golf all day like the other rich bros. I'm over it.
I also think this 100% could have been a spiral-bound workbook. We did not need this as a novel.
