Trying to do too much at once

This product seems like an awesome idea: perform two linked actions in one. I really wanted to like this product. How could you not, it both dries your fly and floats it in one step! Not so much. As a dessicant, it works fine. Unfortunately, every time you open the bottle, the fluffy floatant material flies everywhere. A good gust of wind makes it look like you're in a cloud of dandelion fluff. As for the floatant itself, it just doesn't work. Your flies will sink into the water just as if you hadn't treated them at all. Spend the extra money and get the products separately. At least they'll work.

I think this woman has some problems with OCD.  A lot of the stuff she talks about is unrealistic, but it is inspiring and got me going on some of my organizing.  Not really any new ideas here, but it can make you get up and work on your stuff.

I wish I would use this book to its potential but I just use it when I want to see how to do one thing

Takes some effort and you have to use a lot of product, but works as directed

Tips over due to the weight and difficult to focus.  I will have to re-purpose for some other application

Good read, the only drawback is that the author tries to do too much with the same scenario over and over.

The individual segments do well to work so many muscles in just 10 minutes.  They do this by combining several muscle groups in to one movement, like bicep curls combined with lunges.  But also by alternating movements to double the effectiveness, like squat/abduction/squat/abduction.  It is very challenging, and in my opinion it is something to work up to, perhaps not for begninners.  My only gripe is that the mix option allows a max of 3 sections in a row, where as I would prefer to work up to doing 4 or 5.  So to do this, I will set 3, then go back and choose another 2 to finish.

I want to ask you a serious question. Do you have any idea why you are no good at getting anything done? I mean think about it, you have lots of excuses for not finishing things, but why? Is it just that you are too busy? Jon Acuff, who is a wizard now, I think, knows why you are pathetic when it comes to accomplishing goals. (If you accomplish everything you ever set out to do and do it perfectly, this book is not for you). You will be shocked to see someone put words to...well, your weaknesses. That's the key, though; you need to acknowledge areas that specific need improvement before you can do anything about it. Read this stinkin' book. You will see in your life and in other people's lives the real reasons why there is so much failure (especially when you think you have a good excuse for it), and you will learn how to do better. You will never be perfect, but you can improve! Is it better to lose 10 lbs or lose 0 lbs because you really wanted to lose 20 and gave up? Just read it.

This book is a little over-the-top for me.  I have incorporated some of the techniques, but it's a bit much for a person who is already organized.

This is way too fast for me. Maybe they wanted to cram a bunch of exercise in a ten minute time frame, but I think it would have been better off eliminating one exercise from each segment. All I kept thinking was how much bouncing we seemed to be doing on our knees. This was due to the speed. I will swipe some of the exercises and do them at my own pace as they do seem to target the tough areas.

These workouts are fresh and fun, but I wouldn't say they are for ALL beginners. The sequences done while standing are tolerable, but I felt like there were too many exercises done on the floor. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, so getting up and down for these parts were more than I could handle, and I'm not really overweight. My doctor insists that exercise will alleviate some of my pain, but these workouts only caused me a world of hurt for the following week. At first I enjoyed Jillian's encouraging comments, but sometimes she goes too far by insisting that literally EVERYONE should be able to do certain movements. She's probably not including the chronically ill and disabled, but it still made me feel bad about myself. On the other hand, I was able to get through the entire 30-minute routine by doing modified movements during the floor parts, which is impressive because I'm pretty sedentary. So if you're relatively healthy and don't have chronic pain problems, this might work for you.

Have tried a number of the suggestions. Good ideas for attacking a house full of stuff. The real challenge is to keep at it until the work is all done. It's taking me much longer to accomplish than I thought it would, but one step at a time.

I've been a GTD devotee for many years now, and I've somehow managed to not abandon my to do lists. However, this makes SO MUCH SENSE. But now to figure out how to go back and re-do my lists that have over 1,900 tasks...

I was happily surprised that he supports and writes his methods using ToodleDo, which I happened to switch to just a few weeks ago. It's a really fabulous platform with all the power you could ever need and the ability to hide all those options if you don't want them.

My only beef with this system: what do you do with repeating tasks that you're using to build a habit? For example, flossing your teeth or exercising. i DO want to get them done today (that's the entire goal of habit building after all), but then you're critical list gets too big. But it's not really Opportunity Now either...

Over the years, I have shamelessly allowed myself to be taken advantage of by Terry Goodkind. I would say about 8 too many times. Unfortunately, I was an addict, so I guess this is both a warning and a cry for help. Personally, I'm considering trying a 12 step program: reading all 11 books out loud and recording myself doing it.  Step 12, you ask? Listen to the tape. I'm sure I'll begin to question my own worth as a human being by the end. I do think I saw something on the Terry Goodkind website in the 'Careers' section: something about submissive poolboys with talented posteriors. Maybe I should apply, I mean if I'm going to let him do it, might as well get paid for it, huh?

Though none of you will listen to my advice, please don't make the mistakes I've made. Stop, put away your credit card, do not buy this book. I mean please, save yourself the trouble of hating yourself. Or why not just apply for the poolboy job, but bring plenty of Vaseline and a bottle of Ibuprofen, because the Sword of Truth is one big bad boy and you got it coming eleven times.

The author makes a good point, in that sometimes we focus too much on our faults to the neglect of paying attention to our strengths.  If you are tired of the "rut" you find yourself in as you go through your daily routines of work and recreation, this book will help you to re-evaluate yourself and what you are doing with yourself.  Life is too short to spend an overly amount of time on our weaknesses - yet we need to improve in those areas as well.  We need to find a good balance of attending to both our strengths and weaknesses.  This is a good book, but it has a major flaw:  You can only test yourself once!  If you want to test yourself again at a later time, or if you want family or friends to read and test themselves, you must buy the book again!  I think that is a very weird policy.  But, I guess it COULD sell books.  Maybe.

I really like the immediate feedback on how well I am doing.  I have only done it 10 days, but the variety so far is good.  I like the graphing and tracking of progress.  The exercises are short, so I feel like I am doing a lot of different things.  There is a big focus on balance, which is a big issue for me.  I wish there were a way to speed up the commentary between exercises, as they are repetitive.
