Good organizational ideas & entertaining to boot.

Would you listen to Get-It-Done-Guy's 9 Steps to Work Less and Do More again? Why?

This book offers good ideas that would be beneficial to review. I would definitely listen to it again.

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

No, it is 6 hours long.

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!

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.

Great personal productivity advice with ZOMBIES!

Everything is better with humour and Stever gives practical, usable tips with a health dose! The book includes lots of tips and also makes you think twice about how you are living your life. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and am even implementing some tips already!

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

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?

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.

I really liked this audio book

Entertaining and very useful information. It's actually so much information, I'm considering buying the book as well. Stever adds humor, excellent example and great advice on how to get your life in order and start doing more while actually working less. So, does it work? Yes, his tips and advice have helped me make, and continue to make changes in my life.

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.
