Do More Better : A Practical Guide to Productivity
Tim Challies · 2015
🎙 Narrated by Lloyd James
Challies's doxological reframe — productivity as an act of worship — is a genuine and meaningful distinction from every secular system on the shelf, and at under three hours it never overstays its welcome. The problem is a heavy reliance on specific apps like Todoist and Evernote that dates the advice and excludes readers who don't live in that tech stack. Lloyd James reads it cleanly and professionally, so the listen itself is easy — but whether the content earns its price is a closer call than the short runtime suggests.
