      This book places the reader into simple, yet profound, steps for productivity. Centered on Biblical principals, the author not only provides practical productivity pointers, but places the reader onto a firm foundation to guide their desires for productivity. I believe this to have lasting effects as the reader is given eternal truths and purposes as the platform to begin their leap into a productive life. I am forever indebted to this book.

      I couldn't sit through it, almost nauseating. I really didn't think it would be so religious. I'm not here for any "guy's glory." Time well wasted that I'm not able to take back, ah well.

      Review for the audiobook itself: didn’t get far; the person reading it is super annoying. I guess I don’t consider the message important to sit through almost three hours of that.
    • 1/5
      I thought this was a book on productivity! Wasted precios time scheduling time in my plan to listen to this book on the crap I had to put up with in catholic school. Very annoying. Why doesn’t he call thing by their name instead of trying to deceive people into listening to his religious brainwashing
    • 5/5
      Super practical. Felt like a blended summary of “Living Forward” and “Building a Second Brain,” which were both helpful books.
    • 5/5
      He sets the theological foundation for productivity and teaches you a practical, personal system for determining what your responsibilities and goals should be and how to do more by doing less BETTER. Was very inspired and helped by this book.
    • 5/5
      Awesome book for those who seek the glory of God!

      Not a full of filler or fluff. Practical points and guides as well as a uniquely Christian perspective on productivity. I've probably heard 80% of the ideas before, but it was great to hear them from a new context and realise what I had stopped doing. Plus the new ideas were really useful.

      Too much about Christianity and God rather than productivity topic

      Wow, this reads like a Christian missionary. I had to stop early on. For people deep into Christianity, this book might be valuable (so can’t tell), but for the rest of the world, this is just not what the title promises.

      DO NOT EVEN START THIS BOOK - You'll be so annoyed. This book says "God" every 7 words. Everything you do is for "God" and your productivity apparently has something to do with "God". While it might, you don't have to base the entire book around God. I'm surprised this thing didn't have a cross on the cover. Good thing this was free or I'd be pretty upset.

      This was an evangelistic boomer view on productivity. It has almost nothing to offer. I just listened to it because was picked by Scribd. If you insist on listening to it better listen to the last chapter only and save yourself some time.
    • 3/5
      This book is a little dated with app recommendations but it has some good information. The list of 20 tips at the end was the most helpful to me.

      I may have to change my rating on this book from 3.5 stars to 5 stars. We will see...I'm going to try his system. Tim Challies lays out a simple (but hopefully profoundly effective) productivity system in Do More Better. He gets it correct from the beginning when he defines "productivity" as "effectively stewarding my gifts, talents, time, energy, and enthusiasm for the good of others and the glory of God" (16). He repeatedly applies the simple axiom, "a home for everything, and like goes with like." Challies proposes three primary tools for productive people: a scheduling tool, a data collection tool, and a to-do list. Utilizing these tools, Challies lays out a system of organizing one's life around identified roles and responsibilities. Just as good as the rest of the book, his bonus chapter on handling his emails. He lays out simple suggestions that I found refreshingly insightful!I'm reserving judgment on Do More Better until after I have a few miles under my belt working the system. If it works, I'll be the biggest fan ever. God knows, I need help organizing my chaotic life!

      Fairly simple and easy to implement. Just what I needed to focus and be more productive.
