„So while I was coming to the realisation that I had NOT a F*cking Clue™️ whether I was lazy, burned out, entitled, lost, working hard, hardly working or all of the above, I began to conclude that no one did either.“
Grace is 24 years old and has build 2 companies already. I have followed her for 5+ years on social media and she always comes across as forward thinking and having an understanding of matters of millennial’s + gen z‘s.
And that’s what she brings into this book.
She talks about how social media has influenced our understanding of productivity, „hustling“ etc. and how that is very damaging.
The book is devided into two parts.
The first one being: „Working Hard“: How does success look like for YOU personally, some of her productivity tips, the flow state and a (very good) real talk about purpose and how to redefine the current definition that floats around.
In the second part „Hardly Working“: Redefining self-care as being productive, the matter of wanting or needing to „have it all“ and the art of doing nothing.
One of my favorite chapters was the one on success.
„I‘m never going to feel successful unless I define what success is for me, and if I never feel successful, I‘ll never be successful.“
What I liked less was that she put too many personal remarks in brackets behind sentences. Some of the productivity tips and the flow state weren’t anything groundbreaking new.
But: This is one book that our generation needs! Because it’s so relevant to us and just the start of a hopeful bigger conversation.
It inspired me to think about my life and how I can change my perspective of productivity, success and which role social media plays in it.
She manages to formulate some things, that we are all feeling and experiencing to some degree, in concrete terms like I haven‘t heard much people talk about yet.
I think this will speak to a lot of young people and can help to start changing the direction of how we see the workplace etc. in our current time and with all the challenges that are thrown at us.

I struggle with so many things that were addressed in this book. I think I would be worse off for not reading it and giving me the confidence and the agency to correctly balance my time between work and myself.
