Stever Robbins's book covers familiar ground for personal improvement and business books - how to do more and do it better in less time. Its light touch and emphasis on detailed practical advice raise it above the field - as long as you like the distinctive humour peppered with references to zombies, cats and tall tales about himself.
The book is split into nine steps, each getting a chapter of its own. The advice, as indicated by the choice of job titles in the examples, is heavily geared towards middle class professionals - particularly the ideas which are centred on office life and require you to have plenty of control over your working day.
Some of the tips are controversial - especially the emphasis Robbins gives to ignoring or deleting emails - but with a breezy style and fast paced text, other advice is always along soon.
There are many individual tips and the book places them within an overall approach and structure which makes them easier to prioritise and remember. Most importantly, he does not assume that excelling in your current job is what the advice should centre on. Follow the book and you'll get guidance on activities outside work and may even also find yourself changing your career plans.

This is a very good book indeed about getting things done - hence the 3 stars. However - like the many other books on time management and procrastination I've tried, it just didn't work for me. If the problem is low willpower, then see my review of Kelly McGonigal's "Maximum Willpower", which seems to be working where all else has failed.
Format:Paperback
I listen to this guy's podcast which is quite quirky in style. The book follows the same approach so is very easy reading. That said it is very well thought out and encourages people to look at their work/life from the ground up - I would recommend this to most people as it has good sensible advice that would take years to accumulate in the workplace/home. Thoroughly recommended.
