If you are looking for detailed analysis and sophisticated theories to explain productivity then this is not the book for you. I'm somewhat of a "just the facts" type of person and appreciated both the simplicity and organization of this book.

The book details simple, proven tools and techniques for enhanced productivity that don't require expensive or complicated planning systems, training sessions or new computer programs. I got the Kindle edition and keep it on my iPhone so I can look at it whenever I try to get more complicated than necessary!

I really enjoy reading Chris Crouch's books. This book and his work are excellent but certainly not for everyone. If you're the thinking type, you may reassess your workday or at minimum pick up a couple new ideas. The format is simple and easy to understand spotlighting some solid ideas that purposely go much deeper than they may initially appear. Certain concepts discussed in this book have changed the way that I view work and life in general. My internal barometer of a "productive workday" has been shaped largely in part to Mr. Crouch's writings.
