What is it about?
Given the rise in popularity of productivity guides and gurus I am surprised this book isn’t more popular. Secrets of Productive People is a how-to guide to boost productivity at work. Forster argues that there is no single approach that works for everyone but he does provide a helicopter view of some different techniques. Removing to-do lists was certainly a challenging idea! He covers in depth the need to have a productive attitude and I found this to be very insightful plus helpful in my approach to work. It also has a great section about easy and efficient book reading processes.
Why should I read it?
If you are looking to bolster your output each day, or work more efficiently, this is a great book to read. Even though Forster argues we work based on our own needs, he does provide a very good overall productivity strategy that everyone can learn from.
Is it a challenging read?
This is an easy and engaging read with lots of examples and application ideas.
