Recommendation

“Aristotle said, ‘We are all destined by our own habits.’” You shape your character by how you act and think and by what you focus on most of the time. Author David Horsager says you can alter your habits by exercising perseverance and developing your sense of responsibility. You may find it easy to learn new techniques for boosting productivity, or you might find it hard to overcome old “counterproductive patterns.” But, you can change your behavior, Horsager says, by creating conditions that enable you to move ahead. His succinct advice helps you on your way with 35 practical tips. getAbstract recommends his pithy manual to anyone seeking to be more productive and to achieve a higher quality of life.

Take-Aways

  • Try planning for the next three months. You might find anything shorter too brief.
  • If you plan for a period longer than 90 days, you could lose focus
  • Dedicate an hour every day, without interference, to working toward your daily targets.

    This summary gives a list of to-do's and good practices in time management and made me remind myself of what I am still lacking of. Thanks. #30DaysOfSummaries

    Some great takeaways in this reading. I especially like the 90 day plan, and the advice that you don't have to start at the beginning @getabstract @davidhorsager
