Fairly simple and easy to implement. Just what I needed to focus and be more productive.

I may have to change my rating on this book from 3.5 stars to 5 stars. We will see...

I'm going to try his system. Tim Challies lays out a simple (but hopefully profoundly effective) productivity system in Do More Better. He gets it correct from the beginning when he defines "productivity" as

"effectively stewarding my gifts, talents, time, energy, and enthusiasm for the good of others and the glory of God" (16). He repeatedly applies the simple axiom, "a home for everything, and like goes with like."

Challies proposes three primary tools for productive people: a scheduling tool, a data collection tool, and a to-do list. Utilizing these tools, Challies lays out a system of organizing one's life around identified roles and responsibilities.

Just as good as the rest of the book, his bonus chapter on handling his emails. He lays out simple suggestions that I found refreshingly insightful!

I'm reserving judgment on Do More Better until after I have a few miles under my belt working the system. If it works, I'll be the biggest fan ever. God knows, I need help organizing my chaotic life!

This book is a little dated with app recommendations but it has some good information. The list of 20 tips at the end was the most helpful to me.
