completely useless and outdated

Do not buy this book, look elsewhere for advice or a system for getting organized. I only gave it one star because the system doesn't allow no stars. I didn't finish more than 1/3rd of the book-it is very boring, lots of useless anecdotes and suggestions that are either common sense or you have probably already heard somewhere else. It is unbelievable to me that this book was published recently, it seems like something written 20 years ago, and not that useful then, either. The only useful thing I got out of it was the idea that procrastination can sometimes come out of passive-agressive resistance to doing something imposed on you: your boss wants you to do something, you don't want to, so you put it off. Not earthshattering, but kind of useful. That is it; after a while I was too bored (and had too many things to do, which I had procrastinated on...) so I stopped listening.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
