All of us seek to be more ‘productive’. We hope to do our jobs well, and find our way through every challenge that comes our way with grit, determination, and brilliance. However, the reality we face every day is different, and it’s often the case that we face roadblocks and difficulties that are hard to overcome. Some of us have a hard time beginning an assignment, or we struggle to maintain dedication and focus to finish tasks. As a result, projects get delayed or abandoned and promising opportunities fizzle out—and this leads to feelings of failure, anxiety, and intense regret.

In You Can Get It Done, seasoned life coach Liisa Kyle has designed a book that empowers people to enhance their productivity. While doing so, she takes into consideration the fact that the capacity to start, remain consistent, and finish a task, irrespective of its magnitude, is unique to a person’s experiences and circumstances. The author presents a range of powerful strategies for devising effective plans of action, improving time management skills, overcoming self-sabotage, evaluating when it is acceptable to quit and when it is not. The techniques she outlines show how projects can be completed to the best of one’s capacity. Easy to integrate into everyday routines, these methods can help us all become more creative, balanced, and better versions of ourselves.
