5 Books You Want To Read To Become More Productive and Organized

This series of articles about work & study hacks has unfortunately already come to an end, however, this doesn’t mean that your journey in search of new inspiration for organization and productivity is over too. For this reason, I decided that my last post would be about must-read books to become even more motivated and productive.

Get ready to screenshot the following titles!

1. The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business by Charles Duhigg
   This New York Times bestseller published in 2012 offers interesting insights on how important habits are and how they can improve both our personal and business aspects of our lives.

   

    

2. The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo
   This lovely read isn’t only about the fundamentals of minimalism and decluttering (Read Stella’s blog to discover more about it!), in fact it also shows the effects that these approaches have not only on our closets, but also on our moods, behaviours and lives.

   

    

3. Smarter Faster Better: The Transformative Power of Real Productivity, by Charles Duhigg
   Five years after the best seller “The Power of Habit”, Duhigg published another work about productivity. With the help of science, behavioural economics, the opinions of experts and the key 8 concepts of productivity, Duhigg explains why some people and companies get more things done than others.

   

    

4. Unsubscribe: How to Kill Email Anxiety, Avoid Distractions, and Get Real Work Done, by Jocelyn K. Gley
   Remember my article about how to avoid distraction while working and studying? In this book published in 2016 the author offers a guide on how to stop getting e-mail anxiety and ultimately get back and focus on what really matters.

5.  The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen R. Covey
Described as “The #1 Most Influential Business Book of the Twentieth Century” with over 40 millions of copies sold, this is considered by the community one of the most effective and influential books about the topic. This work will guide you through the 7 most common habits that unite successful people.

I hope this post made you include one of these readings in your book list for the summer. Not everyone is lucky enough to be born with incredible productivity and organization skills, however this doesn’t mean that learning and acquiring them is not possible! The process can be long, but with small steps everyday you’ll be amazed by how much you can achieve.
