funny book

Nothing new in this book. Time tested principles that work, what makes it great to listen is the author has some real good funny one liners . He is a bit of a comic and he makes it very enteraining to listen to

Useful and fun

I already knew the author by the podcast.
It is both useful and fun.
It's not only about getting things done, it's also about focus, relationship and so on.
Some of the ideas are identical to other you can find in Tim Ferriss 4-hour book; here though they are somewhat more human, I'd edulcorated and therefore easier to adopt.

Greatest productivity book ever

Never had so much fun, listening to tips for improving my productivity and focus on the real stuff. Your'e my hero, Stever!

Definitely the funniest book I have ever read or listened to!

Lots of great helpful tips with tons of humor. I laughed out loud so many times 😂

Laughter is the Best Motivation

Clutter is my nemesis, so I have a stack of books on organizing (somewhere) about a yard high. I learn, I purge, I splurge and start over. Stever's book is refreshing and real, and is not full of the same old baloney. It is a mix of some classic organizing tips but with a fresh twist, plus many new takes on our current battles with high-tech "time savers."
But I think the main reason I have given this audiobook 5 stars is that this guy is genuinely funny AND full of good information all the more memorable with his quick pace delivery. Total edutainment! I have already put several ideas in use and I seem to winning the battle, for now.

Good advice, amusingly presented

GIDG's covers a number of basic personal principles for management of time and organization, but makes them easy to listen and reflect upon Some of the tips might be new - others not. However, these coaching tips are worth revisiting from time to time. Stever Robbins makes them vivid and interesting.

Get it all done and have fun too!!!

This book shows you how to actually tackle everything from the largest to the most trival task possible... I got it all done, had fun doing it because the book is hysterical (making the task seem like less work). Stever has so many tips and tricks to make it all possible!
Thank you Stever!!
Oh I almost forgot... I think your fans Love your work, they really do!! Although I'd never book that trip from here...

Addicted to his podcasts, addicted to his book...

Now, I'm addicted to the audiobook. Stever has a very unique style when it comes to relaying information. You have to appreciate his sense of humor (which, fortunately, most office people and entrepreneurs do). I read his book, but I am so glad to also have the audiobook because Stever has a unique way of delivering information that makes you sit up, take heed--all while having fun. Come on--how many productivity books are actually FUN? He makes you WANT to be more productive because he makes the process more entertaining and simple.

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.

Good Stuff

you can sense his passion for the topic, I am a speaker too and have a similarly interesting voice, funny that I notice that. I listened from audible.com and really enjoyed. In fact I am using something I learned right now. I am using my computer as a tool, writing this review and going right back to work.
