Everywhere around you are distractions: That text you respond to quickly, just to get it out of the way. The newest money-making side hustle to cross your mind. The evening spent organizing your overflowing kitchen cupboards. Disruptions are the enemies of a life well lived—both the new distractions of our generation and timeless ones that have existed for centuries.

For years Ryder Carroll tried countless organizing systems, online and off, but none of them fit the way his mind worked. Out of sheer necessity, he developed a method called the Bullet Journal that helped him become consistently focused and effective. Then it went viral. To his astonishment, Bullet Journaling is now a global movement. The Bullet Journal Method is about much more than organizing your notes and to-do lists. It's about what Carroll calls "intentional living": weeding out distractions and focusing your time and energy in pursuit of what's truly meaningful.

Self-discipline (or habits) is your expressway to success. It is the difference between “I might have achieved this” and “Yes, I have achieved it”. Wealthy, happy, and successful people are able to leverage the power of self-discipline to optimize their productivity, make good use of their time, unleash self-control, and be in the controller’s position of their life. They are seldom driven by events, situations, circumstances, or others.

Story
For many people, procrastination is a daily vice that prevents them from doing really important and urgent tasks when there is no outside pressure. Postponement can become a problem not only in daily private activities, but especially in professional life. Psychologists go as far as to describe procrastination as a disruption of self-regulation, since the procrastinator cannot endure anything unpleasant in the short term to achieve something positive in the long term.

Did you know that 45 percent of your activity is habitual or automated?This means that even though you have beautiful and powerful conscious intentions, your subconscious mind will take over nearly half of the time and automatically guide you towards instant gratification over long term satisfaction. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing, though. You can train your subconscious mind to operate differently. Through a change of your small daily habits, you can change your entire life for the better.

Magnificent and Inspiring.
Team Turner and Michaels have done it again. Like Lisa’s previous work, “Dream Take Flight,” this is a wonderfully interpreted rendition that will deliver over two hours of pure enjoyment. I listened to it over and over to the advice on how to find lots of extra time for happy living sunk in and I further enjoyed the subtle humor infused in the stories.
Turner’s tightly crafted book practices what it preaches – it’s short but packed with life management advice you simply won’t find anywhere else. New and fresh, her techniques break the rules on goal setting, which she says are overly complicated. She’s right.
Clearly Turner has studied all of the masters of personal happiness and time management so that we don’t have to. From Brian Tracy to Marie Kondo, Lisa has figured out the shortcuts that can bring us the most accomplishment and mindfulness in our work and home life.
Aimed at the more youthful crowd needing critical time management techniques, this book actually can reform baby boomers (me) by showing us how to view the past and make peace with it. This is the first how-to book I’ve read that has given me a few techniques to be happy in the moment . . . that actually work.
Finally, if you’re a newbie in the working world or getting ready for a promotion, the career tips are invaluable. I won’t give away the secrets here – just listen!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
