Very detailed. Kind of skimmed over most of the stuff in the middle, but I did pick what parts of the book I wanted to apply to my life. First and foremost is probably write everything down. I recommend the book for those who want to seriously apply the routines found within to their everyday lives. If you just want the basics, find a video on Youtube to explain it to you. I'm sure it exists, and it'll be much easier to process.

I read the first edition of this book years ago. While the major content and processes haven’t changed, this is a book I should re-read every year. It reminded me of some of the workflow steps I’ve fallen out of using. Living in a world with even greater disruptions to focus, the author reminds us of actionable steps to work more efficiently.

My rating hovers somewhere between a 2.5 and a 3. As far as the actual writing goes, I'm not a fan of the writing in any of these productivity books. There's a lot of repetition of what amounts to a sales pitch before actually getting down to the nitty-gritty, and it's really geared more toward careers or life/work balance rather than someone like me who really just needs to learn daily time management. That said, I think it has some good points, particularly about getting all of your concerns and visions for the future out of your head and onto paper (or Evernote, which is what I use). It's useful in helping prioritizing tasks and keeping the brain clear. (Unless you're like me, in which case you will still randomly start daydreaming about, say, learning Latin for no reason at random times throughout the day even if you've put it on your "someday/maybe" list!)
