The Productivity Project: Accomplishing More by Managing Your Time, Attention, and Energy by Chris Bailey
3.0
So I started this book a number of years ago, fell out of my reading habits, and recently picked it back up to finish. I realize the irony that I essentially procrastinated in reading this book, but what I found when I revisited it and finished it was that it must have been effective, since many of the tips and tricks Bailey harps on I had adopted into my daily habits without recalling that's where I got them! So that's a pretty good endorsement I'd say.
Some of the science is a bit wishy washy, which is OK because he's a blogger more than a social scientist, but without diving into the specifics of scientific papers he references that takes some of the value away for me. It also does feel like he writes from a pretty self-important and vague standpoint so at times that put me off.
But overall, some great insights, suggestions, and I feel everyone who reads this that wants to get more out of their work day can find something small here and there to adopt that will be helpful. So in the end, a helpful book.
