What Customers Say
Tara (Amazon) stated that there are some good advice and information, especially in the later sections of Productivity Hacks, which are goal setting and planning. She was distracted, however, with the presence of early and often grammatical errors in the book, wondering how they got through grammar and spelling editing prior to publishing. She also does not totally agree with the bad habits mentioned by the author.
Heidi (Amazon) described the book has had many good, solid and helpful tips and ideas. Breaking down bad habits into more specific groups, like bad morning habits, or bad working habits, helps in identifying them. It also has good blueprints for creating goals and tips in following through. However, she finds some recommendations either confusing or impractical, such as working out 3 hours a day. She believes the book has many good topics packed in a short read but does not recommend following every suggestion to the letter.
Jessa F. (Amazon) described it as a great book for people who are able to follow a strict schedule. However, for those who are still looking for ways to learn how to get on a strict, disciplined schedule, she believes this is not the book for them. She adds that if people can already follow a strict schedule, then it is a battle more than half won.
