Not horrible, not great.
I enjoyed the chapters about how to tackle procrastination but other than that did not gain much from this book.
The writing left me wanting as his voice sounds rather naive and green. The unnecessary bragging and endless retelling of the same stories/projects (also the self references in the book) were tiresome and grating and not efficient at all. A quarter in, I stopped reading it carefully and just skipped to the only relevant points in the text. The challenges and the reading time estimates were a nice touch, though.

I found it better than Hyperfocus by a mile. But, that’s just me

I really enjoyed this book, Chris Bailey took on the role of becoming the guinea pig of personal development, and documented his journey in this book. This was quite a read. having read many other books of self-improvement I can say that this book sums up a lot of materials that I have read. Although at times it felt a bit shallow and repetitive i'd still recommend it to anyone interested in the field of personal development and doesn't have the time to read all the books out there

Good read. Backs up the importance of self-care and the quality of the time you spend on projects, rather than just shoe-horning in late nights. Although I'm starting to see a lot of cross over in ideas across the *many* books like this I've read now, maybe time for a gear change!

Sehr interessant und verständlich. Ich weiß nur nicht, wie bereit ich bin die Tipps umzusetzen... yet
