A self help book. As the name suggests, this book is all about how to finish your tasks. This book covers every aspect stopping you from achieving your desired goal.

Peter Hollins talks about Psychological Roadblocks, poor time management, understanding opportunity cost, Self bribery, false hope syndrome, minimizing distractions and what not. 

The book itself consists of a summary and takeaways at the end of every chapter and at the end of the whole book. 

It contains seven chapters listed below. 

“Chapter 1. Stop Thinking, Just Execute       Chapter 2: Staying Hungry       Chapter 3: Create a Manifesto       Chapter 4: Follow-Through Mindsets       Chapter 5: The Science of Smashing  Procrastination       Chapter 6. No Distraction Zone       Chapter 7: Deadly Pitfalls       Chapter 8. Daily Systems for Success”

 

“all the planning we’re doing is also a form of procrastination.”

The chapters have subtopics, examples for better understanding and tips to improve yourself. A full guide to accomplish chores. Name the habit you wish to improve and you get it in the book. 

I will give this book 4.5 stars out of 5. The way the writer has incorporated each point is highly exceptional. 

A must read for people who really wish to change their life habits and want to reach their goals. 

For people who want the answer to ‘What is stopping me and how?’ Should definitely go for this book.

Since you read the whole blog, here comes your bonus point as the best quotes or tips from the book.

1. “all the planning we’re doing is also a form of procrastination.”

2. “ sometimes the looming shadow of a sacrifice will overshadow your goals—unless you create motivators powerful enough to overpower your sense of sacrifice and make each sacrifice seem worthwhile.”

3. “A good example of a rule is to always complete two tasks on your to-do list for your goal every day. It’s simply unacceptable to not do this.”

4. “Don’t create self-limiting beliefs that hold you back, such as thinking that you are not as good as everyone else. ”
