      Not very accessible or actionable. Not worth the time for me.
    • 1/5
      Using of word too complicated. Very formal and too serious.
    • 1/5
      There nothing to learn from this summary. It is just mere words.
    • 2/5
      The full book provides a detailed system for organizing tasks and projects and reviewing them regularly. This summary does not provide that system. Therefore, it's missing the primary value of the book it summarizes. Blog posts are a better resource.
    • 5/5
      Great summary. Taught me a great deal! It covers all the principles which I needed.
    • 2/5
      Far too summarized to derive anything useful. A one-page bullet list would have conveyed the same amount as this did
    • 5/5
      So the summary might be good but I dont know about the book itself.

      The main points here to gather are; Follow his management system because its supposed to be the fast, and make a list of notes of the things that need to be done during the day.
    • 1/5
      I hate this because I was expecting to read the book itself and not the summary. Besides this summary is not educative as it were
