I picked this up on a whim. I found the thinking muddled & the old-memes tone grating. There are better books with fewer words that teach you to look at things - Picture This by Molly Bang comes to mind.
It's good to recognize historical and technical influence on design but I found the treatment here surprisingly flat.

This was a good read. It didn't really cover anything groundbreaking or new, but it is a good reference manual for when you want to look something up, or just as a read to cement some rules for designing for software. (Though much of what Kadavy talks about will soon be obsolete with Retina displays)

If you're in a place where you're mostly working solo or driving a creative venture (podcast/writing/self-branding empire) then this is a nice read to see how someone in the same boat solved his issues and built his routine, with (quite a large amount of) personal stories splashed in for color.
The main insights in this book are how we should think of creative tasks around the kind of mood we have to be in to tackle them, and then the author's classification of these task-moods and his ideas of schedules following a rough task-mood pattern, and scheduling the right tasks for the right moods. He uses more specialized terminology but that's the gist.
I think this book is a good companion to "Getting things done" and "Bullet Journal" if you're trying to create your own productivity system, but doesn't quite stand on its own for giving you a system, just very detailed notes on someone else's system that you can use for inspiration.… (meer)
