It's so true. Until I started using an actual paper planner to track the things I did vs the things I thought I could do, I had no idea how delusional I was about how much I can accomplish in one day or one week. Subtracting seems like a very useful skill we need to develop.
It does seem like a very useful skill to cultivate: asking what could we eliminate before we add. That’s part of what make the Full Focus Planner work so well; every quarter, week, and day you work on a limited number of goals, projects, and tasks—usually just three. Any more and our ability to achieve is typically compromised.
Love this review and the research by Klotz. Such a good practice to keep in mind for product development and content creation. Also, the editor in me absolutely loves the flap copy! Thanks for including the quotes too!

Thanks for the review of the book!

Yeah, the flap copy is an editor’s dream. And I think you’re right about product development; simplification is essential.
