Publisher's Summary

In Organize Tomorrow Today (OTT), two of the top minds in human performance come together to deliver the pathway to extreme success: Doing more is not the answer, and Selk and Bartow walk you through how to achieve more by doing less.

Dr. Jason Selk helps well-known professional and Olympic athletes as well as Fortune 500 executives and organizations develop the mental toughness necessary to thrive in the face of adversity and achieve elite-level results. Tom Bartow, following a career as a winning college basketball coach, became one of the country's top financial advisors and is now one of the premier business coaches nationwide. Together, Selk and Bartow reveal the secrets of how both elite athletes and business leaders climb to the top.

There is a huge difference between knowing something and understanding. There is an even wider gap between understanding and doing. Highly successful people never get it all finished in any given day; however, they always get the most important things completed. Selk and Bartow offer the eight fundamentals of doing what is most important. OTT will show you the performance gains that athletes, executives, and salespeople spend tens of thousands of dollars to achieve.

if you're going to get one self-improvement book..

I've listened to thousands of self-improvement books over the years and this book is simplistic actionable and life-changing.The narration is easy to get through and as soon as I was done I started listening to it again. I own an accounting firm and I can't wait to put these practices into every day application. I can see how these changes focusing on one thing at a time can yield amazing results. thank you for bringing high-level coaching to the masses.

Good content. Way too many sports references.

The content is quite good. I enjoyed that part of the book. But honestly, every time the author launched into another tired sports story or analogy, I wanted to pull my hair out! A few sports references here and there are fine, but it was another "this coach said this", or "that team won that" every couple of minutes. I get that folks write what they know, but it got tiring very quickly.

On the whole, if you're on the fence, I'd say that you should get the book. Just be wary of the overzealous athletics rampant throughout.

Fantastic!!

A fantastic book very easy to follow I highly recommend it to anybody there are willing to improve themselves I know mine starts today..

Too many sports references and analogies

If you're not really into sports like me, it could be difficult to follow his references and analogies. I'm sure he has great advice to learn from. It's just hard to follow if you don't have a background or interest in sports.

Lengthy intro

I'm half way through the book and I feel that although the methods advocated in the book are potentially very effective, the delivery is very lengthy and redundant.

Key points the authors are making includes:
(1) High performers don't get more things/everything done - they get the most important things done;
(2) Start every day prepared - "organize tomorrow today";
(3) Prioritize and maximize your time.

The audio book seems to keep restating these theories and providing examples. More so, it keeps bragging about its authors and how they're extremely successful in applying sports psychology to career training (for financial advisors). You can for sure skip chapter 1-2, which are just pure advertising for the program. I had high hope for the book, but if the other half doesn't provide more value contents, I might end up returning it.

AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

This book made a difference for me

The title says it all for me. But the devil is in the details. And the chapter on pushing through is what made the whole difference. Organizing tomorrow today has proven very powerful for me. But learning to push through and to persevere with these useful habits is the key. This book teaches simple techniques, but does it in a way that makes them stick.

Good points, shallow examples

The book has some great points/ideas, but the points sometimes were lost in the author bragging about the superiority of the method.

Also, mentioning success stories is great, if those success stories weren't already in the top .01% of their fields to begin with. If, for instance, the author had given a story of someone who had lost it all and turned around their life, then it's more relatable.

I wouldn't be splitting hairs like this, if the author didn't mention how great & perfect the system is, every other paragraph.

Act Now

I have many audible books but this one I had to write a review. This book put self improvement into simple, actionable steps better than any book I've listened to so far. Game changer

enjoyed this book, teaches to focus on one change

loved the fact the book focus on changing one thing at a time vs everything

Excellent and highly practical. The best of this T

Not much "new" but simply the best audio book of this type I have ever listened to. What it excels at is packaging and sequencing the ideas for actual ACTION and lasting personal change. You may have to overlook the long, puffed up overdone intro portion, and occasional vanity posturing of how awesome the authors training company is and how big time their athlete clients are. Once past that, simply excellent. I'm working on my chosen items from the book.

I also recommend the Productivity Project by Chris Bailey as a companion listening option to this book.
