Do It Today: Overcome procrastination, improve productivity and achieve more meaningful things by Darius Foroux

What I liked about the book are the personal experiences that the author has mentioned. It is a collection of all his blog articles in one.

Most of the points were which I agree and myself apply in my life. For eg, the author recommends reading as much as you can and I agree that reading does help in personal development. All in all a good one time read.

My favorite lines from the book –

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading itAnd if you want to climb the corporate ladder, you have to form alliances, be strategic, outperform your targets, and be great at what you do.What thing(s) should I eliminate to make my life so simple that it’s easy to focus?To improve your focus, boost your serotonin activity. Research shows that exercise can do that. But something else, that’s equally effective, and a lot easier is a simple mind-exercise. All you need to do is remember positive events that happened in the past.All you need to do [to increase serotonin levels] is remember positive events that have happened in your life. This simple act increases serotonin production in the anterior cingulate cortex, which is a region just behind the prefrontal cortex that controls attention.When you procrastinate, you might feel better on the short-term, but you will suffer in the long-term.Willpower Doesn’t Work. Systems Do. What you really need is a system for doing work. A lot of people shy away from routines, systems and frameworks because they want to have “freedom.” I’m sorry to disappoint you: Freedom is your enemy. The fact is that, if you want to get things done, you need rules.For example, one of my personal rules is this: Never complain. Another one is: Read and exercise every day. And: Close the day every evening by setting your next day’s priorities.Fools learn from experience. I prefer to learn from the experience of others.

It is available on Amazon Kindle Edition and Paperback.
