I needed to hear this life changing book.

Thank you Mathew. I have never before consumed a book in such a quick gulp. I plan to go back to the beginning and re-read it slowly. You are an incredible human being.

Super motivating

I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to find ways to make more time in their life to pursue their goals. This book inspired me to figure out how to gather together fragments of lost time and energy throughout my day so that I could build momentum on my creative projects. Matthew Dick’s narrative is funny, engaging, and warm-hearted. I got a big jolt of energy and motivation while reading this book. I also loved his book “Storyworthy.”

I’ve been writing nonstop

This book has put so many things into perspective. I have been reading, writing and painting everyday since I finished this book. Excellent tips on how to manage your time and accomplish more.

Some good bits. Not a seamless blend

Reminded me of the begets of the Holy Bible. For example, one idea is this, and this, one idea is so on and so on. Seemed short-sighted with some great parts and then with consistency becomes off-putting at the next turn.

Inspiring and motivating

Great concepts and variable ways to look at ideas. Worth the read. Would recommend to anyone.

Awesome Book!

Highly recommend this book - it’s practical, flows well & my life changed by the 2nd chapter!!! Full of awesome pearls of wisdom. This is one book that already had me optimizing my time before I’d even finished it. Thanks Matthew Dicks - you’re an inspiration!

worth you money and time …

it's an interesting book
One reviewer criticized it in German - full of platitudes and cliches
Not true - some of the author’s insights might be well-known and you might even use them
However, it is a great book to brainstorm with yourself what you are doing wrong and what right
I enjoyed it a lot, worth buying and reading

Words of Wisdom and immense inspiration

Loved the book, and an audible version of it really sits well for self motivation. Filled with humor and seriousness too, it is a must read/listen

Will recommend to others

Enjoyed the book, smooth read and inspiring. The break down and how to apply each step into our lives is easy to follow.

The author clearly knows how tell great stories, Storyworthy is shared a bit which i may look into after enjoying this read.

If you're thinking of getting started on your creative (or even entrepreneurial) journey but still need that push then I would recommend this book. Looking to apply some steps into my routine/systems moving forward

Kinda Braggadocios, but good tips

This guy kinda toots his own horn a lot, maybe could of trimmed an hour or two by avoiding that. It was kind of weird when he said his success was in large part due to being a straight-white-male and he couldn’t have done it otherwise. Lots of value provided though. Still worth the listen.
