Getting More Things Done

Simple Secrets to Become Focused and Organized in a Productive Stress Free Way

by Michelle Evans

 

This book was a really quick read. I think it took me about an hour. The book was trying to help people become more organized with their time, which in turn will create less stress in ones life.  The main point was that "People who want to be more productive in their lives need to realize that in order for them to manage their time better, writing their goals down somewhere will make all the difference in being able to achieve those goals."  This truth is what has helped me in so many ways. 

 

The book discusses different ways to begin writing things down, but stresses that finding what works for you is the best idea. For me, personally, I use cozicentral.com as my primary list making area. It allows me to text lists to my husband and children when I make a list for them, as well as manage the lists on my computer, Kindle, and Iphone.  It is easy to use, and with it being with me where ever I go, it makes it easy for me to remember to use it.  It also can be FREE if you use the version with ads.  So far I haven't found a need to use the paid version.  The main system that the author suggests using is google calendar. I also use this app for my calendar, and it is able to sync with everyone in my family and again, it's FREE!

 

If you are struggling with getting things done, and need tips for figuring out a system that works for you, this quick read is a great place to start.

 

I give this book 5 stars.
