TLDR: Our brain is not made for dealing with multiple complex projects or for keeping track of meetings, deadlines, to-do and shopping lists etc. To not get stressed or overwhelmed by modern life, you need to set up an "external brain": a system you can trust to keep all this info AND remind you of it when YOU need it to. The book helps you create such a system. David's system lets you capture the dozens or hundreds of small and large to-dos going on in your life, decide what to do with them, review it from time to time and act based on them so that you can trust yourself that any moment you are doing what you should be doing (and not feel anxious about what you're NOT doing). It's the kind of book one re-reads every few years to get more and more out of it. While he says the whole system takes a couple of years to became habitual in your life, you can get a lot of mileage from doing small bits of it right away. Frankly, I'm somewhat pissed it's not taught in school or that no one before had told me about it (it first came out around the turn of the century). Anyway, but it, read at least the first two chapters and start making it into a life habit as you read the rest of it.Read full review

I bought this book because I share productivity and time management tips on my Instagram page @processtoolbox. I thought I’ll only review the book and share the tips with my audience. But instead it inspired me to build a productivity system for content creators! I’ll totally recommend
