"Deep Work" by Cal Newport: This book explores the importance of focused, distraction-free work in achieving productivity and professional success.
"The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg: This book explores the science of habit formation and provides strategies for creating and sticking to productive habits.
"Essentialism" by Greg McKeown: This book encourages readers to focus on the most essential tasks and activities in their lives, and eliminate distractions and non-essential commitments.
Getting Things Done is a classic. Here are 3 of my favorites, though they're more related to productive company-building than personal productivity:
- Find Your Why (by Simon Sinek)
It's really easy to get lost in *what* you're doing, and forget the *why*. But the why is what ultimately drives people.
- Traction (by Gino Wickman)
Really useful frameworks for thinking about organization, delegation, and company strategy.
- The Lean Startup (by Eric Ries)
Another classic, it's always good to go back to basics.
I would recommend the below;
1. The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma
2. Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen
3. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change by Stephen R. Covey
Honestly, reading books on productivity makes me less productive most of the time
Better to just take action
@richard_gao2 Yeah at first I experienced this too, probably you can listen to audible books or summary to understand the key points.
But me personally, it helps reduce the use of social media usage by replacing it with books
Thanks for sharing. These are great books indeed! Would also recommend "Indistractable" by Nir Eyal.
