#RPVBooks I brought this book with me to London since it’s light and small and I need reading material while on the London Underground (or Overground as it may be the case). Perhaps the best book in this genre, short, simple and chock full of great advice. Perhaps I say this …

… because so many of his 21 tips I have either put them into action, written about them or simply resonate with my own practices. Admittedly, it took until I came to London to REALLY read it.

The table of contents should be enough to entice you to read it. A few snippets…

… that resonated with me because yes, I’ve written about them on my blog and Twitter threads:

1) Write everything.

I learned this lesson the hard way, in NYC, last month. You need paper and pen at all times or a digital method for recording.

2) Keep findable records.

3) “Your To-Do List should be your best friend”

4) Use *only one of everything* (I don’t particularly adhere to this, except for my Everything Notebook, but I DO synchronize all my calendars).

5) Never start your day without a To-Do List (I wrote about this as well!)

There are many other good recommendations in “Time Management Ninja”, including another one I do recommend (if you can wing it): waking up early.

Like Francine Prose’s Reading Like a Writer, this book should be read word-by-word. It’s a fun read and if you’ve followed me…

… for long, you’ll see that much of what I’ve written about is reflected in Jarrow’s book (which probably means we’ve just about converged on a few good practices that don’t require you to work ridiculous hours).

10/10 recommend.
