Title: Really helpful and to the point
Review: I really like how they have just created small small chapters and kept it to the point. Usually these kind of books say the same thing over and over again in different ways but this book says different things in different chapters. Would highly recommend to read this book.

Title: Good Small Book
Review: “Manage Your Day-to-Day” by Jocelyn Glei, with contributions from various creative minds, is a good read for anyone wanting to improve their creativity and seeking more control over their lives.The book is around 240 pages and has around 22 chapters containing suggestions from folks in the creative thinking community. Some of the contributors have multiple inputs for the book and each chapter is around 8-10 pages. This is not the book to be completed in one go, In my opinion, reading every chapter and discussing it with our closed peer group will be an value addition.Been an ardent fan of 99U for last couple of years, I find many topic already covered in their website and videos, but still as an complete package and as well as to lend to a friend in need, I had bought this book. I would like to reiterate my friend Micheal review below, I too found the below mentioned points interesting & imperative. Though it is not necessary to follow everything to the point, but a mix of the below will help us to see the big picture. Consider each one as the missing part of a Jigsaw puzzle to get the main picture.1. Drawing a line between the world’s demands and your own ambitions.2. We can accomplish much by working slowly and consistently over a long period of time.3. Setting a daily routine by regularly and reliably doing your work in an habitual way.4. We are not designed to operate at high speeds for long periods of time.5. Blocking off time for focused creative effort.6. Multitasking is overrated (Finally Some one had the Guts).7. Suggestions for improving self-control.8. Being involved in the moment enhances your creativity.9. Many people want success in so much haste that they do not take time to be true to themselves (what good does it do to gain the whole world if you lose your soul in the process?).10. Disengagement from a situation may provide a solution for your problem.The book is a delightful read and may be completed in a few sittings. I will often refer to the book when needing either an inspiration or reminder of how to access creativity.This is not a Self-Help Book, I would recommend as a value add or opening up of your creative side book

Review: If “procrastinator” isn’t my middle name, it’s only because my parents didn’t want to embarrass me. I am a strange hybrid–a creative person who is also a type A++ personality. I do not perform at my best without some sort of structure. When I left graduate school for the life of a freelance writer, I found myself drowning in “free” time with little sense of how to reach my ever-growing (because I never actually reached one and got to cross it off!) list of goals. It took me years to develop the discipline and solid work habits that came to me so naturally as a student.MANAGE YOUR DAY-TO-DAY isn’t a long or exhaustive exploration of time management and life balance. It’s a tiny, targeted little primer full of good advice on building a solid work routine, focusing creative energy, surviving constant connectivity, and generating new ideas. Each section includes short articles by working artists and contemporary thought leaders that get straight to the meat of the given topic such as Harnessing the Power of Frequency, Making Room for Solitude, Learning to Create Amid Chaos, and Using Social Media Mindfully. At the end of each section are specific “Key Takeaways”–action steps the reader can take NOW to improve his or her day-to-day.What’s great about such a little dynamo of a book, is that I can revisit it whenever I feel my old habits (or lack thereof) sneaking up on me. The result is immediate and relatively painless course correction. The way I see it, the only people who won’t profit from this book are the producers and stars of reality television. I know my viewing hours of popcorn television have gone down…and my writing output has gone way up!
