How to get Unstuck- Matt Perman

Being a professional procrastinator I often struggle with time management and getting things done, so when I stumbled upon this book I was very interested in what information I could learn. But can productivity be improved upon by just reading a book?

Consisting of four major parts of becoming unstuck – the problem and principles, personal leadership, personal management and special obstacles – Matt Perman provides plenty to learn from. Written in an engaging format and accompanied by stories, helpful sub-topics, graphs, and book recommendations I found the style very accessible and engaging.

However, I did think the emphasis of many of the points made was more for the office; therefore, it made the book a little less relatable for me personally (as a teenager my current experience of the working world is a part-time job at Nando’s!!). But if I become Alan Sugar you know why!

Another nice addition Perman included linked to gospel teaching. Often quoting and referring to Biblical verses, his arguments were embedded in scriptural truth and this was helpful.

Overall ‘how to get unstuck’ was a good read. It was informative and applicable to daily life. However, some sections of the book were more relevant and helpful than others, slowing my reading pace and not being super engaging every time I picked it up. But… for those budding entrepreneurs this is for you (and personally, my procrastination levels have decreased (I think….!))
