Story
We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon.

Story
Overthinking manifests itself as an overwhelming fear that, although unrealistic, ends up taking control of your thoughts and completely blocking your actions. Excessive thinking generates excessive thinking. It is a process that feeds itself and leads inevitably to exhaustion, both emotional and physical because your mind never stops running and consuming energy. If you are genuinely motivated by the desire to reverse this vicious circle, but perhaps you never had the right approach to solving the problem, this audiobook may be what you are missing to accomplish the mission.

Do you often wonder why some people are blindingly successful? Do you ever wonder how they got there? Do you want to find more ways to take control of your daily tasks? The answer to the questions above is self-discipline. The reason why some people have a hold on life better than the rest of us is because of habitual behaviors that sabotage even the best of intentions.

Game changer
This book is a game-changer for me. The narration was engaging, ensuring that even the most intricate strategies were easy to grasp. The author seamlessly melds theory with actionable steps, guiding listeners to not just understand the essence of productivity but to live it. It's rare to find a guide that's both insightful and practical, but this one hits the mark. For anyone looking to elevate their efficiency and find more balance in their lives, I can't recommend "Mastering Productivity" highly enough.

A six-hour investment for a manyfold return.
The main point of this book is that productivity (and the success that comes with it) are skills and habits that can be learned, making an Important distinction between being *productive* and being *busy*. Type A personalities and those who see detailed planning as a must-have are the most likely to enjoy this book, although I think anyone with a more laid-back personality that can get through it and implement event a handful of the recommendations will likely enjoy a greater proportional benefit.
The tone, type, and vocabulary of the instructions, as well as the structure in how they are presented, suggests to me someone coming from an experience base in an upper management corporate position. Some of the suggestions are less practicable than others. For example, designating a specific time period of the day to check and respond to text messages (I think designating a time period when you won’t check or respond to text messages is more do-able and less likely to give offense to people trying to communicate with you). And you’re certain to find one or more things you either disagree or simply don’t think it’s worth your while to implement (in the case of night owls like myself, sleeping as late as possible on the weekends is a non-negotiable must-have, as opposed to the author’s recommendations against sleeping past noon).
I’d say the best way to look at this book is as a type of productivity self-improvment à la carte where you can pick and choose what works for you, and while a lot of the stuff seems like basic common sense, as the author points out, it’s the kind of common sense that only a minority of us possess. It got five stars from me because even though there’s a lot of stuff I either already knew or wouldn’t make use of, the straightforward presentation, scope of material covered, and amount of stuff I actually found useful made it worth the time it took to listen to. Topics include (but are by no means limited to) setting and prioritizing goals, as well as a solid general outline of how to break down overwhelming long-term goals into bite-sized medium and habitual short-term goals (arguably the most important part of the book). There is a discussion on how to be mentally present so you can focus to work more efficiently, and enjoy your non-working time more. Everything from diet to arranging your workspace to maximize your comfort and minimize distraction, as well as to avoid falling into the trap of perfectionism is covered.
I would have personally benefited the most from a book like this in high school or late middle school (I think something like this should be basic curricular material), but even at age 40, it was still a good use of time (especially since I went through this book in audiobook format, and the narrator and production quality were both excellent).
