Peter Jones (26)

An enjoyable read and certainly contained some interesting ideas. However, I don't expect I'll be implementing anything from this book. For example:
~ If you don't already use some kind of calendar/scheduling system, no wonder your life is chaotic
~ The idea of a 'boxing day' once a month (where you wake up and do exactly what you please) is totally unrealistic. Even if I were to schedule such a thing, I know I'd wake up and take care of to-do's instead. I'm pretty sure Mr Jones' self-employed status makes this much more viable for him.
~ I was dying to get to the chapter where he points out there's no way you can do 'everything', so the sooner you get that idea out of your head, the better. Sadly, he didn't.
All that said, some of the concepts and reminders were helpful, especially the necessity of choosing goals and working towards non-bucket list enjoyment items.
By all means, pick this book up and take a look, but you might want to get it from the library before reaching into your pocket.… (mer)
