Do It Today: Overcome Procrastination, Improve Productivity, and Achieve More Meaningful Things by Darius ForouxMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Well, most people, including me tend to procrastinate on many things. So, this was a book which piqued my interest. I found the book useful, though as with much of the self-help literature today, the incremental new concepts or techniques you learn is (very) limited.
I liked this book because it is simple, direct, and crisp. The chapters are short, and each gets directly to habits you can develop and action. I was hoping for some neuroscience inputs, which was mostly absent though. Nevertheless, the suggestions are all practical, make sense and area drawn from the author’s experience. The coverage includes – minimizing distractions (mostly technology related), appropriate technology aids, concentration, holistic approach combining exercise, work & hobbies.
While most people are unlikely to find much new material, I recommend the book for its honest & straightforward approach to the topic it covers.
