About this listen
Erin Falconer, editor in chief and co-owner of the highly respected self-improvement site Pick the Brain (with over 1.8 million monthly page views), shows overscheduled, overwhelmed women 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 the tangle of cultural pressures that women feel when facing down a to-do list.
Finally, in the first productivity book by a woman in a decade, 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 offload, 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of Refinery29's Top 10 Women Changing the Digital Landscape for Good, Erin has seen what happens when women chase an outdated, patriarchal model of productivity, and in How to Get Sh*t Done she shows how even the most perfectionistic among us can tap in to our inner free spirit and learn to feel like badasses rather than drudges.
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.

Not what I expected
I was looking for practical advice to help enhance my productivity and organizational skills. While this book does have some advice in that respect, to me this book was primarily a feminist discussion about how women have been overlooked and overburdened by a sexist society. Not at all what I was looking for.

Just say NO
Thinking to myself with a title like that it should be straight to the point. But just say no would be a better fit for the title, or perhaps how to use up all the oxygen in a room, maybe even how to lose at everything. I should go to work today, just say no. I should do the laundry, just say no. I should help out my child, nope. Better get yourself a maid,chef, and personal assistant they are the only people that get anything done. This will give you more time to surf the internet. The worst use of 60,000 words or so I have come across. If you want to find a better book it will be easy. I feel bad for the narrator, she did a bang up job on something that was nearly impossible.

Can’t finish this book-don’t spend the money on it
Thought this would be an interesting listen. Not really looking for a self help book but interested in a suggestion or two along the way. Only got in about 3 chapters and it turned into the typical - women don’t make as much as men complaint. Honestly,we’ve all heard it enough and I’m tired of hearing it. Felt like I was hearing another “I am victim” story. What little I might have gotten out of isn’t worth listening to her whine any more. I’ve read my share of feminist points of view on multiple layers of our society and I’m not sure how this author has rose to where she is. Perhaps there are enough sad people (women) who truly eat up the self help crap that she has made a fabulous living at telling you what you don’t have, who to blame and how to get what you really want (as she describes it). Unfortunately I just don’t have the patience for it anymore.
