Good basic information
On the plus side, the writing is clear and easy to understand and written in a well organized fashion. For me though, the ideas were pretty basic and not a lot of game changing notions. A good book for those looking for a place to start. Not as helpful If looking for more advanced or original ideas in my opinion.

Common-sense ideas and the need for discipline predominate
This is not earth shattering stuff, just a lot of common sense ideas mixed with the reminder that discipline is what it will take to get it all done. Not a must-read if you’re well-versed in productivity, but a good reminder that the point is to get the right work done, not face time or maximizing hours. If you have a family, you should make a point of making sure you’re around when they’re growing up.

If you are tired of typical productivity books, this is a good one. I just read a chapter on daily routine, and I was surprised by the simplicity of how Robert Pozen manages his day. If he could achieve so much with such simple routines, then we definitely don’t need fancy productivity hacks. A must read.PS: One aspect that I noticed is that Robert, since his childhood and early career days, threw himself into multiple undertakings at once. That developed his ability to manage his time and commitments well.

Excellent and pragmatic tips for corporate workers on better managing time, running meetings, writing documents or focusing on priority work. This advice comes from an actual corporate leader and top university professor. Strikes the perfect balance for a productivity book. Its recommended habits and techniques are easy to implement and can make a difference backed by research. For instance the author, who was Fidelity’s president and currently delivers a course at MIT on productivity, provides an easy recipe for never taking too much time to write any document from outlining to conclusion. With a concrete example on improving paragraphs easily and efficient conclusions. There are plenty of books on these subjects but usually too long winded, and just about one subject a time. Also, usually such productivty books are either too academic like 300 page books on procrastination with impracticable freudian or jungian insights, or too simple and childish with the latest fade consultant or self help guru, who for the most part has never achived success outside of writting success books promising easy success, repeating one idea over and over and not transmiting too much information.
