life changing content if you want to follow throug

great book! This book isn't magical it's simply points out the simple yet growling tasks we do or don't do to hurt and or help our selves.

Excellent Book by all standards

This book is simply amazing for following through one's intentions. It contains practical skills with numerous examples to help everyone to overcome that familiar feeling of "I don't want to do it".

Great read!

Great audiobook with very tangible steps to increase follow through! I very much enjoyed this book. Please listen to this book...I promise that you won't regret it!

learn to be more proactive.

small steps equal one large step in the end. take the time to make yourself better!

Clever in many ways

Narrator made the book. Changed the way I'll think about my never-ending task list. Much of the book seemed obvious but the some of the suggestions people use to motivate themselves gave me a different angle on how I'll approach the things I don't want to do.

overall some nice ideas

Well narrated and good points with each chapter. Would have been nice for more summary at end of book.

half the book pointless

could have covered it in one chapter dragged on and on and on. last chapter all that's required

Super repetitive and dissapointing

What disappointed you about The Power to Get Things Done?

The repetitive nature of this and no solid suggestions .Silly things like hire someone to make you get it done. well duh, if we had the disposable income to do that I wouldn't need a book on how to stop procrastination on things I feel are boring and mindless and or not up my alley.

Has The Power to Get Things Done turned you off from other books in this genre?

NO, there has got to be a book out there that gives suggestions in other than common sense manner to get things done that you feel are just mind boggling boring or tedious.

What aspect of Fred Sanders’s performance would you have changed?

Stop with repetition. Actually have some substance to your book with decent stories.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

definitely disappointed I wasted so much time listening to it hoping it would get better.

Disappointing

Didn't learn much unfortunately. Could have been a magazine article instead of a 4 hour audiobook. First hour was just examples of not following through. While I appreciate a few examples, I didn't need dozens.

Not helpful

What could Steve Levinson and Chris Cooper have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

stop repeating things, deliver the same content in different format does not make it new.

Would you be willing to try another one of Fred Sanders’s performances?
