"The suggestions in Manage Your Day-to-Day urge us to take responsibility for our own time and energy by not letting email or other forms of reactivity blunt our focus." —Forbes

It's like the Navy Seals of creativity all got together and wrote a book about productivity. I’m giving my entire design team a copy." —Joe Gebbia, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer, Airbnb

"I’m always looking for ways to boost my productivity and to stop doing the things that hold me back. That’s why I turned to Manage Your Day-to-Day…The book was worth the quick read." —Daniel Pink, author of Drive and To Sell Is Human

"This is one of those books that you want to keep around and refer to
when you feel you're getting bogged down with "stuff". It's a collection
of essays/articles on time management and life/work balance from
various authors. Some are practical, others based on scientific studies
but all are easy to read and full of ideas for working and living
better. Many of the articles refer to creative work, particularly
writing, but in my opinion, all work is creative and these tips will
work for everyone.

Since I read these types of books/articles a lot, I was surprised to find so many
new insights - and to actually feel energized. I'm guessing it's because instead of
being "the one method you must use", there are very many viewpoints, tips and
suggestions. Some of them seem contradictory - like work for hours vs work in short
blocks - but as you read the essays, some will resonate with you as "the
way" that will work for you.
