Mind Management, Not Time Management: Productivity When Creativity Matters

David Kadavy Β· 2021
πŸŽ™ Narrated by David Kadavy (author)
75/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

David Kadavy's "mental states over the clock" framework is a genuinely distinctive angle on creative productivity, and Kirkus was right to call it structured yet exhilarating. The catch is his examples skew narrowly toward his own self-employed, childless creative life, so readers with less schedule freedom may find it harder to apply directly. He narrates it himself, giving the personal framework an authentically personal voice.
