I really got to start paying more attention to the books I order from the library. I meant to get "The Now Habit." I found it on a productivity site and thought it sounded interesting. Alas, I wasn't paying attention and ended up with this book. There is nothing groundbreaking in this book. It just tells you to focus on your "priorities" which I am clearly not doing as I should be working on a freelance writing thingie, but instead, I am here typing up book reviews. ANYWAY This is just to get my brain warmed up.
As a freelancer, there was not a lot that I felt I could take away from this book. It gave tips on how to deal with distraction n the office. And the book emphasizes you to focus focus focus. Someone took to much Adderall and then wrote this book.
It gives some tips on how to build your self-esteem. And it talks about work life balance and all the other stuff that most other productivity books speak of.
The writing wasn't spectacular, and there was no groundbreaking theory or anything in this book. There are other books out there that have better writing and better ideas to implement.
I keep thinking that the reason that I did not really like this book is that I wasn't in the target audience. If you work in an office and need to boost your self-esteem up a few notches, then you may find this book helpful.This review was originally posted on Adventures in Never Never Land
