+++ title = "I read Feel-Good Productivity" date = 2025-04-27 +++

I've tried to read productivity books for a while, started with note-taking, time management, and goal-setting... but never managed to finish any of them. This is the first book that not only I finished, but also I found it enjoyable, insightful, and provides practical tips for improving productivity. And not only that, is the first one that I have used a marker on to highlight important passages.

What did I like from this book that makes it different from other productivity books?

• Productivity should be fun and enjoyable, not just a chore. That's just something basic but it didn't click for me until I stopped and thought about it for a moment. I have been doing some hobbies that just weren't fun for me, but I realized that I was doing them because I thought they were supposed to be fun, not because I actually enjoyed them. I replaced them with activities that I actually enjoy doing, or at least I'm trying to do so.
• The book is organized in a way that makes it easy to follow and understand. Each block focuses on a specific aspect of productivity, such as motivation, focus, and time management, providing practical tips and actionable advice.
• The writting style is easy going and enjoyable to read, relating to the author's personal experiences and insights and providing real-life examples to relate the content to the reader's own experiences.
• It provides summaries of each chapter, making it easy to review the content and remember the key points.

After reading it I bought the audiobook so I can focus on specific chapters that I want to deeply understand and apply into my daily life, there are some chapters that are very good for productivity nerds like me.

I have already started to apply some of the tips from the book into my daily life, and I'm already seeing improvements in my productivity, habits, and overall well-being.

If you are thinking into reading a book about productivity, I highly recommend this one. It's a great and easy read, and it's a book that I can recommend to anyone who wants to improve their productivity.
