This... does not need to be a book. Ryder Carroll has a great idea, but this work did not answer my questions. Instead, I was treated to excessive backstory, numerous testimonies, and near-religious speech on the “meaning that mindfulness practices could bring” to my life. It felt as if I was being told that I could determine my life's purpose if I only bought the magic potion.
In all fairness, I tried a bullet journal. My issue is with the content of this content-inflated book, not the system. The system is actually pretty good. But the book is much longer than it needs to be.
See, Simon, I told you that audiobooks counted.
Love the system. It's life-changing.
The book is also excellent. It expands on and clarifies what's available online as well as serving as a thought provoking treastis on living life better though goal and time management. I highly recommend. Take notes as you go and implement.
This is so much less presumptuous about its audience than most productivity tomes (I have been on a kick and it mostly feels like self-flagellation).
Ryder's method is simple, flexible, and focused on mindfulness. And with a lot of case studies about how being organized and thoughtful can help with various mental health things. I guess I just jive with the philosophical orientation of millennials more than boomers. Shocker.
Also, he manages to offer advice without assuming that I'm a CEO with a secretary to delegate tasks to.
