Expect every chapter to begin with a quote. And then expect a bunch of more quotes and anecdotes from every famous personality you can think of. Little practical information. Conventional wisdom like ‘Be Present' etc.

I feel like this was written as a direct call-out to a lot of my actions throughout my life. I am definitely going to take some lessons learned here and implement them in my daily life. I would highly recommend reading this book!

There seems to be an ongoing trend on books that make you reduce what's on your plate. But this one does not leave you without proper arguments as to why this could be beneficial for you. It's a fast read with good writing style but the concepts require you to think for a while on them.

DNF - the book talks about using your time wisely, and I don't think reading this book is worth it. Very shallow anecdotes and examples. Maybe worth reading if you have a problem saying “no” to things and really need a kick up the butt.

Focus on what's important. There... I saved you a few hours.

The art of saying no and stay focused on what matters. I liked the book and the simplicity of the message but overall I didn't like the “tone” of the book.
