This book is very easy to understand, the hard thing is to practice it in reality :').
When trying a new creative things, it's 100% true that most of the times we got discouraged and tend to abandoned the project as soon as another idea appears, or what Belsky defines as project plateau.
By reading this book, it's giving a simple guidance on how to treat the creative ideas and to come into the execution phase.

Pretty much just Getting Things Done methodology for people who think they’re too creative for process.

This was written for creative types like me who tend to be better at inception than sustained execution! Too many good ideas, not enough structured perspiration to make enough of them happen. Getting a ton out of it so far.

Some great ideas on making ideas happen.

A great takeaway for me was "impact is the result of creativity multiplied by the ability to organize and then execute and idea."

The author breaks the book into three sections:
1) organization and Execution
2) The Forces of Community
3) Leadership Capability

Each section provides great insight and some very practical applications.

Я честно пытался прочитать эту книгу уже 2 или 3 раза. Но в ней настолько высокая концентрация банальностей и клише, что если там и есть что-то полезное, разглядеть его крайне сложно. Не рекомендую

First chapter is great, really tactical ideas of how to handle ideas. From there, it's some more good advice on fostering ideas and including community. But I had to stop when the last chapter was all about how to be a leader. I have no intentions of being a CEO of a tech startup, which is what it seemed to be targeted at. Otherwise, a good read, I'd say you could almost just scan the TOC and go to what you're looking for.

I got some great nuggets out of this book. Slight variation on organizational books, specifically targeted at creative types who often don't think they can (or should) be organized. Worth buzzing through if you're looking be a better project manager.

Very good, lot's of useful concepts with the minimum of marketer-speak. Nice to have concrete examples laid out as well.

While the first half inspired me to organize my projects, something which hopefully encourages project completion, the latter half, centred around community and leadership, fails to detail actionable mechanisms (especially for personal/solo projects). I have failed to gain any confidence in my ability to complete projects, as in the end, the main takeaway, which I already knew, is that it's just effort and hard work.

So many great tips and a quick and easy read. I walked away from this with not just a set of action items and boilerplate ideas but a path forward to improve my creative and collaborative process, time management skills and deeper respect for the power of appreciation.
