This book is a solid work on putting more value on your time and spending it on projects, goals, etc. that really matter and reducing the time spent on fluff. It's geared towards knowledge workers (professors, marketing reps, etc.) but has plenty of applications for any walk of life. A primary goal of Newport is to help his readers that they're more capable of effective time management than we feel like.

As a #longtimefed I kept my own journal of what I did each day. Among other things, it made it easier to prepare my accomplishments at evaluation time.
Here are 5 things I did in a particularly memorable week.
1. Met with boss for weekly progress review. Provided a written summary on which boss took copious notes.
2. Made follow-up calls on all discussed projects. Left messages because nobody answered. Because they were out doing the work. ⬇️
Love the fact I've been assigned to read this book for work!

This was a thought provoking book about knowledge workers, unnecessary busy-ness and what quality truly looks like in the work world. It gave me a lot to think about and I‘m so grateful that the staff leadership at my organization is reading this together. A lot of work/self help/productivity books fall flat for me but this was worth the read! #BookspinBingo
I am an avid journaler, but apparently an even more avid journal purchaser. At my current rate of journaling, this is 3.5-4 years' supply. I have decided that I am not allowed to buy any more journals until 2027 (unless I start using them faster and need another sooner than that).
I skimmed this because of course I am no good at slow. Good ideas here — allow twice as much time for projects as you think you need because you actually need that long.
