When it comes to books on motivation and productivity, I enjoy giving the book a try in finding new ways to propel myself to a better future. Rettig was quite insightful on the approach to productivity in seeking the essence reason behind one’s procrastination lying within our circumstances or past life rearing experiences to help us solidify our own motivations to better productivity. Another great tool in this book was how Rettig validated how many will negate their past procrastination experiences but when journaling, use a power solving technique in seeking those negative notions. It has really helped change my thought process in viewing my own situation and moving toward being able to tackle my tasks and completing them. Great selections for individuals, recent graduates, and book clubs!

As someone who can give advice on how to be productive, yet has a hard time being productive herself, I found this book extremely helpful, relatable, and educational. The way Rettig talks to you throughout is so calming and serene that you really feel she understands what you are going through. It was so validating to hear someone else say things that I, myself, have said and then she turned around and gave you very real ways to overcome and work through whatever is holding you back. I highly recommend this book to anyone who struggles with getting stuff done (even if it’s temporarily) because it’s a great one to have on hand. She never once made me feel bad for putting projects off or anything like that. This book really is phenomenal and it’s one that you can skip around to certain chapters (especially after you’ve read it through once) to find ideas and motivation.

Sometimes, in life, you come across a book and it feels like it just speaks to you – like it was written just for you. For me, this is one of those books. When reading it, I honestly felt as if I were reading the encouraging, knowledgeable words of a trusted friend or mentor. I have struggled with procrastination and self-starting since childhood. I appreciated that the author relates it to disempowerment, rather than laziness or failure; that in itself was seeing procrastination through a new lens in which there was nothing inherently wrong with me. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who feels they need a little help and encouragement to get started on the things they want to accomplish in life. I will definitely be checking out more books by this author and mentioning it to the people I know and love.

This was actually really great read. its about how you can power thou procrastination and also with perfectionism since they do go hand in hand. If you procrastinate about something it could be because you want it perfect. It talks about how to use different technique that could help. Even pinpointing things that might be a reason for the procrastination. The ideas that are created in this book show a way of how to use disempowerment towards perfectionism and how to use the process to kind of get out of your own way and stop procrastinating. Highly recommend if you might be dealing with things that need to be perfect and procrastinating things.

I feel this is a good read for those who are trying to help their procrastinating ways. I like that right in beginning the authors speaks on mental health and advises to see a specialist, especially because sometimes our procrastination comes from struggling with a mental health disorder. The author includes in the book different strategies/exercise to try to help combat your procrastination, as someone with ADHD I kind of felt good about myself for already doing some of them on days I’m not letting my quasiproductive procrastination win. And there are some I need to keep in mind to try. I really like that she encourages to stop that inner bully that I know a lot of people have. I really enjoyed part 2 on perfectionism. My complaint with the book is when she’d state something and then say that she’ll go more on it in a different chapter. I didn’t feel the book was one to skip around in, so I felt that it wasn’t needed to include it’ll be talked about again later on. But other than that I think it’s a good read for those looking for a little extra help.

While you might be debating if this book is really for you because of the title — let me tell you there is something for everyone. While Retting points out the exact exercises in her book may not be exactly right for you, I do think it’s time wasted. There were some that were not a fit for me, but even still, the exercise did get me looking at things from a different perspective. I would recommend this book. After all, knowledge is power.

Productivity is Power 2: For Creative, Business, and Other Professionals by Hillary Rettig is a self-help book geared towards finding and working through barriers to productivity. It starts with a chapter for those who are needing to be productive now! Which I appreciated though I didn’t need it at the moment. The book is riddled with tops and tricks to increase productivity and to get out of ruts to motivation. If you like a self-help book with actual, doable techniques than this book is a gift.

This was a great informative read into the reasons why we procrastinate and how we can make changes that will make us more productive with our time and lives.
I am bad when it comes to procrastinating and it interesting to read that by doing that it puts me in a disempowered state which I was never aware of before. This book allowed me to look into the reasons why I procrastinate and lose focus and I was very surprised.
The hints and tips to overcome this was amazing and after implementing some I can feel my attitude and focus improving.

I would really recommend this for people who want to get a handle on procrastinating and want to find a way to improve their focus on all tasks and areas in their life.

It was very informative but written in a way that everyone could understand and digest the information.

Maybe I have been living under a rock, but I hadn’t heard of this author before. I am so glad I decided to pick this up and give it a chance because it is incredible! I can’t believe how often I felt like she was referring to me in this book which made it even more amazing. The author has a great way of providing facts but then also a story to paint the picture of what she’s teaching and why. I have always had a hard time with perfectionism even as a child, so reading this was a breath of fresh air. I feel like these are solid, concrete steps to assist with any situation that would arise! These tips could definitely help anyone even if they don’t procrastinate. I am excited to pick up other books by this author, but I’m keeping this close by for reference!

I think what really makes this book so valuable is that the author not only explains things in a clear and concise manner but also let’s you grow your mindset with exercises and engagement throughout the text.

Productivity is Power 2 helped to break down the barriers to being productive such as procrastination and perfectionism, which is defined as disempowerment.

After that there are many practical solutions that are explained such as empowerment and time management. There are many excellent examples and exercises to work through the book to help you further develop yourself. You can apply this book to all aspects of your life from professional to personal.

This is my first Time checking out work from this author Hillary Rettig. I was super glad I did. It may seem on the longer side but it is definitely worth it. This book has a lot of knowledgeable advice and awesome tips. There’s about 24 exercises throughout the whole book and every one of them is equally great to work on. Also the techniques in Part III are extremely helpful and consistently trying them out. A couple of chapters I really need to practice more than the others are ;Scheduling and Tracking Your Time, The Perils of Overgiving, and Knowing Thyself and Thy Motivations . Lmao I’m a work in progress and this is definitely helping me take the steps in the right direction. I highly recommend this book and if you haven’t gotten it I suggest you do🥰 I look forward to reading this author’s other works.

I procrastinate a lot! Not in my work life but in my personal life. Way to much for my comfort and always wait till the last minute and then I’m the crazy lady rushing to make it. Then there is the me that is ready 24hrs before and has the car, snacks etc. all ready before morning. I was trying to find balance is all of it! Work, Home etc. Especially since I WFM. I’m just trying to find my balance and I feel like Hillary helped me. I’m still working on it but taking everything in and a day at a time. This was my first time reading one of her books and it also led me to her website to check her out.
I’m a note taker and list maker so I started using ideas from the first day. This was the perfect book to get me back into my daily routine that worked well for me. Practical and well written, it gave me the motivation to do more and be more productive even when I was in my slump days or having a rough day, I’m always scared to step out of my comfort zone, and this gave me hope to continue to do so and do more. Taking the tips I’ve learned and showing my 18 yr old and my mom to help them as well.

This book was such a big help, so many great ideas with a little something for everyone. I have already taken some new ideas and put them to use. I actually felt motivated to do more. I work as a supervisor in an office and found good information to use at work. I also have a few side gigs in sales and definitely needed this book. It is one you will want to keep handy to reference back to. It is very well written and easily understandable, I actually found it to be.
Fun read.
