Why I selected this book:-
I wished to learn to focus on aspects and manage my time.
About the book:-
The book brought up how to make more time from our schedule. Everybody wants to use their time in the best way, but it is never likely to happen. Here Author had designed paths (chapters) for making time. The path includes 4 stages-
1) Highlight 2) Laser 3) Energize 4) Reflect
I found some of them beneficial. There are enough practical examples and ideas.
The book has plenty of cartoon type pictures or sketches that made it fun to read. With the Author's backstories, it feels interactive. The author favours the Might-Do list to avoid a to-do list. Staying away from distraction.
The favourable part:-
The strategy which I related to is the "Highlight" part and leave the device behind. Many strategies are basic and silly but more influential. Very well he explained it and well presented.
To whom is this book intended:-
▫ Those who wish to know how to stay focused and happier life.
▫ Those who want to learn time management.
▫ Those who want to stay away from mobile (distraction one)
▫ Those who don't have a habit of reading books.
What makes this book useful:-
It will refresh our minds. Can learn in taking control of our time. Using and focusing on what works.
"A well-ordered life is like climbing a tower; the view halfway up is better than the view from the base, and steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands".
Check out this book for a well-ordered life.
