From the editor-in-chief and co-owner of the highly respected self-improvement site Pick the Brain comes an inspirational guide for overscheduled, overwhelmed women on how to do less so that they can achieve more. Women live in a state of constant guilt: that we’re not doing enough, that we’re not good enough, that we can’t keep up. If we’re not climbing the corporate ladder, building our side hustle, preparing home-cooked meals, tucking the kids in at night, meditating daily, and scheduling playdates, date nights, and girls’ nights every week, we feel like we’re not living our best lives. Yet traditional productivity books—written by men—barely touch on the tangle of cultural pressures that women feel when facing down a to-do list. Now, Erin Falconer will show you how to do less—a lot less. In fact, How to Get Sh*t Done will teach you how to zero in on the three areas of your life where you want to excel, and then it will show you how to off-load, outsource, or just stop giving a damn about the rest. As the founder of two technology start-ups and one of Refinery29’s Top 10 Women Changing the Digital Landscape for Good, Erin has seen what happens when women chase an outdated, patriarchal model of productivity, and now she shows you how even the most intense perfectionist among us can tap into our inner free spirit and learn to feel like badasses. Packed with real-life advice, honest stories from Erin’s successful career, and dozens of actionable resources, How to Get Sh*t Done will forever reframe productivity so that you can stop doing everything for everyone and start doing what matters to you.

"I have yet to see a book that uses a person's personality- knowledge of self, to create a system of productivity that works for them - to create the most effective output for the necessary input. Like this review, the book's backstory of how she discovered this method was very wordy and covered with so much weaving unnecessary information- I had to put it down and skim... (backstory- I am already really selfish, but I was reading this to find more of an efficient balance for productivity) <br/><br/>...the fact that I picked it up and actually couldn't put it down towards the end meant somewhere along the line it got REALLY engaging. <br/><br/>The tips, the outsourcing, the POP method was amazing and the hilarious connections she makes between historical feminine roles - why we don't necessarily need to follow them to a "t" today is amazing, & historically relevant- and could lead towards a more productive future. CHEERS to Erin for finally writing a book that can be utilized to help others accomplish their fullest potential."
