Work Less, Do More: The 14-Day Productivity Makeover (2nd Edition)

Jan Yager, Ph.D. · 2014
🎙 Narrated by Kelli Stokes
63/100
👎 Skip It

Jan Yager's research-backed 14-day structure tackles real pain points — procrastination, perfectionism, email overload — and her sociologist credentials give the framework more grounding than most self-help titles. But the worksheet-and-quiz format loses significant utility in audio form, and anyone who has read a modern productivity book will find the territory familiar. Kelli Stokes delivers a clean, professional narration that at least makes the listen frictionless.
