Some decent ideas, but nothing new. It‘s been said before, and better. It‘s a quick read, though.

A quick, one-sitting take on setting reasonable goals for yourself and then structuring your days in such a way as to achieve them without burning out due to exhaustion. It's a good book, but it felt a lot like regurgitation of the productivity principles in lots of other business and self-help books. Maybe that's not a bad thing, though.

kerry [NB: Diaz-Ortiz works in Silicon Valley, so like Lean In and other tech-y business writers, her writing skews towards those working fairly flexible 9-to-5s, or those who are self-employed. Some of her points carry over across industries and job types, but many do not.] 6y

This little book has been sitting on my shelves since BEA16, and early January seems like the perfect time to pull it out and read it.
