Just like the title of the book, this book is for beginners, like me and most likely you because you are also interested in this book.
In terms of appearance, I think the book has a lot of good points, with a black cover and a very prominent red tone, with color harmony with my Medio logo - that's why I really like the book cover. . Printing paper, as well as the current trend of paper books, is to print on "dark" paper to avoid eye damage, and lightly pressed paper. One thing I find very interesting is that after the end of each index, there will be a red or black page written about related quotations or a story to help you have a moment to stop and think about the section you just read. before.
I have also read a few books on the topic of time management and daily planning, but most of them follow the direction of writing down daily tasks, seriously following them, blabla,... relatively boring things that I do. It's really not very effective, it only lasts a few days - it's like a disease that can't be completely cured, because you naturally want to follow the plan but your brain can't control the concentration.
Perhaps it's because those books are not written about how the brain and body operate, but this book brings a very different knowledge.
Author Jocelyn K.Glei has given the exact causes that make us work ineffectively such as: trying to multitask, the habit of reading email every morning, the habit of using FB, Social Networks,... and offers solutions. Solutions help us limit these things with specific training methods that come from our own body, lifestyle and thinking. It's not a machine that writes To Do Lists like the books I've read.
And this knowledge is shared with stories and examples that make me feel like I'm looking in the mirror and seeing my ineffective face every day. Therefore, when I read the book, I found it very attractive and did not feel boring or theoretical.
I realized that there are many seemingly small habits that make us less effective at work, and was surprised to see that I had a lot of misconceptions - no wonder why I read self-development books all the time and feel like I'm doing something wrong. Being ineffective and letting time pass is a waste of time.
This is actually a book I recommend you read if you feel like you're being ineffective, lacking focus, or scrolling through social networks or on your phone, only to be startled to look back at what has been an hour. It goes by but things still don't progress much.
I immediately applied it and finished this review in less than 15 minutes, even though I'm always lazy so it takes me a few weeks to write a review. I have to sit down and write several times to finish it because I'm not focused and efficient. fruit.
