A super relevant book for anyone nowadays。 It's a very practical guide of how to finish what you start but it also motivates you to do so， by giving you the reality of how dysfunctional is the current approach that most of us have。 A very quick and easy read A super relevant book for anyone nowadays。 It's a very practical guide of how to finish what you start but it also motivates you to do so， by giving you the reality of how dysfunctional is the current approach that most of us have。 A very quick and easy read 。。。more

A good book。 The narrator was not my favorite but overall the advice is sound and I enjoyed it。 I may actually pick up a copy to have in my hands so that I can underline and highlight it。 Worth a listen/read。

Simple and concise。 Not a groundbreaking read， but I didn’t expect it to be。 I appreciated the practicality of the approach: a straightforward “here’s how to hack your productivity” and…it works。

This book was better than I thought it was going to be。 I did not read anything new or groundbreaking， but the book's structure was conducive。 I finish the book with clear ideas of what to do next。 Honestly， this is a lot more than what I can say about other self-help books。 Hollins's style is easy to read。 It takes the reader through simple concepts and clear examples of how to follow through on one´s projects。 I especially liked the part where he speaks about rules， I stopped and wrote 3 for m This book was better than I thought it was going to be。 I did not read anything new or groundbreaking， but the book's structure was conducive。 I finish the book with clear ideas of what to do next。 Honestly， this is a lot more than what I can say about other self-help books。 Hollins's style is easy to read。 It takes the reader through simple concepts and clear examples of how to follow through on one´s projects。 I especially liked the part where he speaks about rules， I stopped and wrote 3 for myself。 For me， that´s the proof of a helpful self-help book。 。。。more

Very basic and general。 It's not bad， but it could use some more depth。 I suppose not a bad start for someone who is only starting to get into the productivity issues。 Very basic and general。 It's not bad， but it could use some more depth。 I suppose not a bad start for someone who is only starting to get into the productivity issues。 。。。more

A very succinct and direct book about maintaining focus and avoiding distractions If you've read previous books on attention and excellent habits， it may not necessarily present entirely fresh ideas， but it is unquestionably a very good reminder of what procrastination really comes down to。The book also discusses many helpful strategies for dealing with these challenges of maintaining attention and "following through。" The summaries at the end of each chapter make it very simple to go over what A very succinct and direct book about maintaining focus and avoiding distractions If you've read previous books on attention and excellent habits， it may not necessarily present entirely fresh ideas， but it is unquestionably a very good reminder of what procrastination really comes down to。The book also discusses many helpful strategies for dealing with these challenges of maintaining attention and "following through。" The summaries at the end of each chapter make it very simple to go over what you've learned throughout the book and even simpler to go over these techniques and concepts in the future without having to read the entire thing again。A decent， quick book that is recommended。 。。。more

I don't know what version of the book this is， but the one I read is 99 pages and I can't find that one on good reads。 So， i'm just using this one。In terms of quality， it has many good points but nothing that is novel that you wouldn't find in other books of similar nature。 An example would be 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear。 In fact， most of the techniques it suggests are identical， which would be expected since the books are similar in nature。 However， I think Atomic Habits does a much better j I don't know what version of the book this is， but the one I read is 99 pages and I can't find that one on good reads。 So， i'm just using this one。In terms of quality， it has many good points but nothing that is novel that you wouldn't find in other books of similar nature。 An example would be 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear。 In fact， most of the techniques it suggests are identical， which would be expected since the books are similar in nature。 However， I think Atomic Habits does a much better job at giving you suggestions on how to take actionable steps in implementing them in your life。 Don't get me wrong， it is still a good read if you have never read a 'follow through' book。 It has some pretty good points and analogies nonetheless。 Although， I would have to agree with another reviewer that said it can be a bit harsh or patronizing to the reader at some levels。 。。。more

I thought this book was going to be helpful in actually finishing projects you start （how to not abandon a project， how to stop changing projects all of the time， etc）， but it was a generic productive guide。 If it is the first of its kind you read， great， it will probably help you a lot。 If it isn't and you wanted more specific advice， you've just wasted a few hours of your life。 I thought this book was going to be helpful in actually finishing projects you start （how to not abandon a project， how to stop changing projects all of the time， etc）， but it was a generic productive guide。 If it is the first of its kind you read， great， it will probably help you a lot。 If it isn't and you wanted more specific advice， you've just wasted a few hours of your life。 。。。more

It took a Goodreads friend asking me how the progress was coming along to jog my memory and help me finish what I'd started when I opened this book months ago。 It's a really short book so it shouldn't have taken me this long - once I'd gotten started， I finished it in two days （from the night of May 22nd to the afternoon of the 23rd） - but life got in the way and I pushed it to the backburner。It's a good book， insightful and eye-opening， and it has some good pointers in identifying issues and ro It took a Goodreads friend asking me how the progress was coming along to jog my memory and help me finish what I'd started when I opened this book months ago。 It's a really short book so it shouldn't have taken me this long - once I'd gotten started， I finished it in two days （from the night of May 22nd to the afternoon of the 23rd） - but life got in the way and I pushed it to the backburner。It's a good book， insightful and eye-opening， and it has some good pointers in identifying issues and roadblocks in you that have been stopping you from finishing， but I wish it had more pointers in how to combat these things。 Unlike one of my favorite books of all time， Big Dreams， Daily Joys， this one didn't have as many clear-cut actionable tips， but it did set up some ways you could mentally get over the hurdles you put up in your head - it just wasn't as helpful or easy to understand as Big Dreams Daily Joys。 The end of the chapter has a summary that was helpful if you're like me and started zoning out towards the end of each one， which I appreciated。All in all， not groundbreaking by any means， but it's helpful and might be what you need if you struggle with finishing what you start。 。。。more

A good book but not for me。In my vision There are no 10 or 100 rules to change your life， there is no path to follow or a books to read。There are only two things:1-Go hard2-RepeatGlory doesn't happen in front of a crowd。 It happens in the darkness of the early morning in solitude where you try and try and try again。 With every thing you have to be the best that you can possibly be better than you were yesterday。Go hard。 Repeat， And die hard。I really went hard in life。 A good book but not for me。In my vision There are no 10 or 100 rules to change your life， there is no path to follow or a books to read。There are only two things:1-Go hard2-RepeatGlory doesn't happen in front of a crowd。 It happens in the darkness of the early morning in solitude where you try and try and try again。 With every thing you have to be the best that you can possibly be better than you were yesterday。Go hard。 Repeat， And die hard。I really went hard in life。 。。。more

This book is about productivity。 Some good strategies such as:"temptation bundling is when you combine an obligatory （and undesirable） task with an instantaneous reward。"Over planning is not good either。"all the planning we’re doing is also a form of procrastination。"Use your environment。"Include a picture on your desk of your child to remind you to keep working toward your dream for a better financial future"My favorite one is:"Focus on three things a day maximum。 Only。"Finally choose a system This book is about productivity。 Some good strategies such as:"temptation bundling is when you combine an obligatory （and undesirable） task with an instantaneous reward。"Over planning is not good either。"all the planning we’re doing is also a form of procrastination。"Use your environment。"Include a picture on your desk of your child to remind you to keep working toward your dream for a better financial future"My favorite one is:"Focus on three things a day maximum。 Only。"Finally choose a system （habits） over goals。 "Systems stand in stark contrast to goals because goals are one-off accomplishments， while systems emphasize consistency and long-term success。" 。。。more

Not the worst self-help book I've read， but pretty useless nonetheless。 I don't get how people read this kind of things and think it's life-changing。 You absolutely don't need it if you have adequate life skills such as simple planning and organization。 If you don't， then I can recommend this to you because it goes over the basics in a concise and practical way。It has a few interesting points buried among generic "tips" that anyone could come up with after thinking for 30 secs。 At least the auth Not the worst self-help book I've read， but pretty useless nonetheless。 I don't get how people read this kind of things and think it's life-changing。 You absolutely don't need it if you have adequate life skills such as simple planning and organization。 If you don't， then I can recommend this to you because it goes over the basics in a concise and practical way。It has a few interesting points buried among generic "tips" that anyone could come up with after thinking for 30 secs。 At least the author has the decency of not stretching the book for hundreds of pages。If you really want to read this， feel free to skip to page 112 of 117 and get directly to the summary， it'll save you time。 。。。more
