Not today - 9 habits of extreme productivity by Erica and Mike Schultz.
This should be the counterpoint to Rest (I think)

The authors think that productivity can be learned. I think they're probably right. Being productive is a skill, and I think most if not all skills can be learned and improved upon.

This situation taught them to value their time.
Treasured - stuff you enjoy
Investment - time that pays dividends
Mandatory - needs to be done, try to outsource
Empty - where you can pare back.
But where is the rest? Investment time?

The authors write here about getting into the zone-a flow state.Mike breaks it into sprints and relays.
Sounds similar to the pomodoro technique.

The story of Erica, Mike and their son Ari is heart breaking. I thought this was going to be about work, work, work, rather than overcoming despite the odds.
There are a few good take aways- I like their concept of TIME and will borrow it.

I also thought this does not contradict "Getting things done", but if there was any emphasis on productive down-time (rest), I missed it or it was not captured in the blinks.
Overall, thought it was a useful book summary.
