Nonfiction Book Review for ‘Design Your Day’ by Claire Diaz-Ortiz
 
About the Book:  “Be more productive, set better goals, and live life on purpose’ is the slogan on the front cover.

When it comes to productivity, hard work is half the battle. The first half—the crucial half—is planning well. Enter the DO LESS method, a simple way to achieve your goals more often, in less time, and with greater peace of mind. Learn how to:
  • Decide the right goals for you
  • Create workable strategies for reaching them
  • Harness time for maximum efficiency
From the big-picture to minutia, Claire Diaz-Ortiz walks you through every step of setting and achieving smart goals. She gives tips for brainstorming goals, choosing the best ones, and adjusting them to make them realistic. Then she helps you put key strategies in place to reach them, day-by-day, year-by-year.

Whether you want to finish a house project, lose weight, or write a book, Design Your Day—by someone who read 150 books in her first year as a mother—is an all-in-one guide to smart productivity. Use Claire’s tricks and tools, and you’ll be amazed at what you can do in a day, let alone a lifetime.

MY REVIEW: As a therapist, I agree with the goal setting strategies in this book.  It is simple, short, and user friendly.  The author gives practical advice on how to prioritize, using the analogy that most people have heard by now, of fitting large pebbles, small pebbles, and sand into a glass jar.  The analogy is that if you start with the important things (the large pebbles) then the other things fall into place around them.  This book offers practical advice on choosing which are the “large pebbles” in your life, and also choosing which things you can let go of.  The “do less” strategy, as the author calls it.  5 stars.
