    "Painful to listen to unless you are 20 something"
    What would have made Get-It-Done-Guy's 9 Steps to Work Less and Do More better?

    Less of the quirky personality of the author. He had good points however the delivery method depended on being on his weird wavelength. Injections about things such as zombies to make his point were funny at first, tired in the end.


    Would you ever listen to anything by Stever Robbins again?

    If his style matures, the book is written to amuse the 20 something crowd.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Stever Robbins’s performances?

    Not likely that I would spend the time or money.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Get-It-Done-Guy's 9 Steps to Work Less and Do More?

    I listened to the book several months ago and just remember feeling, good points but awful delivery. Too many of his personal experiences etc I could not relate with.


    Any additional comments?

    I commend the guy for trying.

    "Thanks to your work, now I can't sleep, Stever!"

    This is a superb audiobook. I listen to many, and do not use effusive praise lightly. I usually listen to audiobooks and podcasts before bed, to help me relax before sleep. Get-it-done-guy is one of my favorites, and the 10 minutes or so usually offered is a great break from my day. Stever tickles my funny bone like he put "make this girl laugh" on his life map. But now that I have so many hours of his humor, all in one place, and it is so good - both well written and educational in a "stop what you're doing and reorganize your life right now" kind of way - how is it that I am supposed to get any sleep? I keep giggling out loud and waking up my husband, who then listens himself and then chuckles so loudly that I still can't sleep, even though husband has stolen the earphones. What the heck!?! Here is the part of the review where I would say that Stever is a cross between "insert business guru here" and "insert comedian's name here", but he is such an original that comparisons are useless. Go get an episode of the podcast. Any will do. If you do not laugh, go buy a "How to get a sense of humor" audiobook instead. If you laugh, or change your life for the better, or - most likely - change your life for the better while figuring out how to invest in the Depends brand so you can listen to more, then you should buy this audiobook. Possible also while buying the hard copy so you can use a highlighter for the good parts. S'what I did, and look how happy I am. Well, except for the not being able to sleep part...

    "Great Book with Great Ideas"
    If you could sum up Get-It-Done-Guy's 9 Steps to Work Less and Do More in three words, what would they be?

    Stever provides 9 Steps to help you get more organised in your life at work and home.
    His approach introduces real practical steps combined with humour and wit, to emphasise each of the steps.

    The presentations of his ideas are clear and concise and the book is just as relevant for a student in their teens or a leader in business.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Get-It-Done-Guy's 9 Steps to Work Less and Do More?

    For me the best lessons from the book relate to the management of email. This is one I think most people could use.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    I have listened to this book several times. The first time, at a desk hanging on to every syllable. The other times while exercising.


    Any additional comments?

    Stever Robbins also delivers the Get-It-Done Guys podcast on the iTunes Store. If you have any doubts about this book, I recommend you listen to the podcast and if his style appeals to you, then get the book.

    "The BEST practical book about productivity."

    - Many practical tips how to work less.
    - Amazing performance by Stever with his stories and his jokes.
    - Chapter about Leverage is the best.

    "Stever Robbins does it one better"

    Many of us have followed the teachings of David Allen and Stephen Covey for years. Stever Robbins does it one better. He has presented a workable system of life minimization and organization that is so radical it will change your life to truly teach one how to work less and do more. By following this system I am more organized and better on track than I have ever been. I am starting to see the emergence of a very strange thing called "free time". I am not sure what to do with it yet, but it is going to be fun deciding.

    What is so enjoyable is he has a great sense of humor in his writing style and a great reading voice. You can hear his enthusiasm. Never have I had so much fun getting organized and in control of my life.

    I want to thank the works of Allen and Covey. With my basis in their systems, implementation of Stever???s system was a breeze. My advice is to study other systems of personal management and then go to Stever. When you get here you will see that he truly has it figured out and you will have the skills to implement it.

    ...now where did I put that zombie reanimation powder? (Read the book and you will understand.)

    "Entertaining and effective book on organization"

    This book is full of ideas on how to organize and priortize work. True to the title, it's about accomplishing the things that really matter. The narrative by Stever Robbins is upbeat, engaging and kept me laughing. Great examples of the systems in the book make it easy to follow.

    "My First Audiobook Purchase Well Worth it!"

    I recently decided to switch over to audiobooks. Lately, I've been finding that I don't really have time for anything. I'm staying late at work just to finish off tasks, and I'm not having much of "me" time or with friends. So I decided to take action and purchase this audiobook. A world I dreamed of was what Stever's first words were. I saw myself with everything he said. I'm really good at procrastinating! Really I am! But i don't want to be! After listening to the audiobook, even I, a really good procrastinator became an action orientated person. I finish tasks even if they attempt to intimidate me with their size. I really recommend this audiobook filled with real life tips. Oh and before I forget, his voice is not monotone or boring. To be honest, in parts it's actually funny because of his Bernese (female) voice impersonation.

    "Both useful and humorous"

    I have listened to several "Get Organized" books and Get-It-Done-Guy's 9 Steps to Work Less and Do More is by far the easiest to listen to. Stever has a way of presenting useful tips and tricks to help you become more productive without making it a bore to listen to. I actually laughed out loud at times while listening!
