Why this book?
\nThe answer to this is more than a little ironic. But I know how to start things – including books – but I struggle to feel like I finish things. There are plenty of things in my life that I can mark complete, but I always feel like there are a million dangling threads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have always enjoyed Acuff\u2019s style dating back to the satirical \u201cStuff Christians Like\u201d. As he has moved more into the productivity, get stuff done realms I have enjoyed his what I would call \u201ceveryman\u201d sensibility to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have battled with feeling like I can\u2019t quite finish things. I want to start reading more more consistently. Felt like a two birds, one stone type situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have been a junior college night school student of \u201cproductivity\u201d for years. I\u2019ve read\/listened to books, read articles, fiddled with apps and systems, listened to podcasts. Thought adding Mr. Acuff\u2019s thoughts on the matter was a good addition to the repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned…
to finish. I kid. I learned that starting something means you don\u2019t have to finish it. I don\u2019t mean that flippantly, I\u2019m no where near saying to not be a man of your word. I\u2019m very much thinking about these task list idea, sticky notes all over your notebook, spur of the moment \u201cooh, what about\u2026\u201d ideas that come along throughout the day. I have this absolutely useless – and sometimes dangerous – contract with myself that if I have an idea I have to finish the thing. And even if I don\u2019t finish the thing that I have to remember the thing. Not so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would recommend this book for…
people who have an inbox or task list with things from a year ago that they can\u2019t remember exactly why they put them there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
