Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-08 00:00:00 Jay Williams I've been doing some research on job burnout and this was included in my stack. If you're researching the psychology of burnout, go to Christina Maslach. She's the expert and I'm glad I read her work before this one. This is a case study of first year professionals and then a follow up study of the same workers 10 years later. There are some interesting observations about how job burnout treatments can be successful and when they fail, but the title is somewhat misleading. I didn't get as much practical application knowledge from this book as from others. There was also a great deal of repetition in the writing, a personal pet peeve. Academic writing doesn't get a pass that allows you to use the same sentence in different chapters. I would recommend individuals in these professions review this study for issues related to burnout, but don't rely on it to provide enough information. It should also be noted that the book is focusing on a specific type of lawyer, those generally in public aid, so less here is relevant to corporate lawyers who may be experiencing burnout from billing hour demands.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-30 00:00:00 Lyse Mitsui My goal in reading this book was to find ways to organize my life in both personal and work dimensions, but the real emphasis was on the personal dimension. To that end, the first half of this book was immensely helpful to me, and will be just as helpful to those who take the time to complete the activities and to honestly answer the questions that Caunt asks us to ask ourselves. Having said that, the second half is where the book fell apart for me, mainly because the scenarios and advice it presented were more heavily (and understandably) geared towards workplace situations as opposed to general life situations. Also, the technological advice was meant to speak to both complete computer novices as well as people well-versed in computers, but it ended up being too basic and simplistic for me as someone who works on the computer all of the time. Overall, those who are looking for solutions to workplace disorganization will probably find the book more helpful in its entirety. Those who are looking for personal solutions would be better off sticking to Chapters 1 through 4.
