What I really enjoyed was the format this book was presented in. The pages are similar to what you might see on slides in a presentation for instance. Key points are listed in point form, in coloured balloons, in big text. I found that very fast & easy to process, and some ideas really stuck as a result. I also liked the thick and smooth pages which made reading and flipping a breeze.

The book's main strategy is to get you to break down scenarios you have problems with into small bite-sized steps, then conquer each step separately, highlighting challenges you may face during each step. I liked this highly systematic and analytical approach as it laid everything out transparently, allowing you to see exactly what you had to do.

If you need a good dose of motivation and some advice/reminders about how to get things going and overcome obstacles, this book is worth a read.

This book helped me a bit and gave me some tips about organizing and planning. I will definitely use it in the future (probably in a close future) and whenever I need some guidence.

It's actually more suited for adults but it worked quite good anyway. I just switched work to school.

So if you are in need of help with getting things done - I strongly recommend you to read it! :)
