Time management remains a huge challenge for most people. This book shares the habits and processes used by top leaders worldwide to minimize distractions and maximize accomplishments.
In researching more than 1,260 managers and executives from more than 108 different organizations, Steve and Rob Shallenberger discovered that 68 percent of them feel like their number one challenge is time management, yet 80 percent don’t have a clear process for how to prioritize their time.
Drawing on their 40 years of leadership research, this book offers three powerful habits that the top 10 percent of leaders use to do what matters most. These three high performance habits are developing a written personal vision, identifying and setting roles and goals, and consistently doing pre-week planning. And Steve and Rob make an audacious promise: These three habits can increase anyone’s productivity by at least 30 to 50 percent. For organizations, this means higher profits, happier employees, and increased innovation. For individuals, it means you’ll find hours in your week that you didn’t know were there - imagine what you could do!
You will learn how acquiring this skill set turned an “average” employee into her company’s top producer, enabled a senior vice president to reignite his team and achieve record results, transformed a stressed-out manager’s work and home life, helped a CEO who felt like he’d lost his edge regain his fire and passion, and much more.
By implementing these simple and easy-to-understand habits, supported by tools like the personal productivity assessment, you will learn how to lead a life by design, not by default. You’ll feel the power that comes with a sense of control, direction, and purpose.

All of that history is to preface that I'm not genuinely surprised by most of the self-help/self-improvement genre anymore. That said, Do What Matters Most was a very pleasant surprise. Like a lot of great books, DWWM seemed to be a synthesis of many other great works, honestly told, with a very relatable perspective. Practical, with just enough anecdotes to illustrate the practicality of the sound reasoning given and outlooks shared.
The audible version is very well narrated. I usually like to hear authors, and this one felt like I did.
I got the audible version because I was having trouble getting through the print version, for a great reason! I found myself doing the writing exercises suggested in the print book, to the point that every time I picked up the book, I would find myself writing moments later.
My annual goal for the last 25+ years has been to read at least fifty good books a year. Just to ensure reaching my goal, I got the audible version of Do What Matter Most while only halfway through the print version. I'm about two-thirds through the print version now (still writing), and thinking about listening to the audible version again, soon.
Do What Matters Most is very good at helping the reader determine exactly *What Matters Most* to them! Family, friends, spirituality...all are just as important, if not more so, than work. The authors do a good job of getting you to really be specific about what is important - to you. I've been self-employed for four decades. I have a history of workaholism, and of measuring myself on being a good provider; My work is still what I would do even if I won the lottery tomorrow, but a bit differently. Reading the book is a bit like winning the lottery, allowing you to focus on *What Matters Most*. It is a great primer for determining *What Matters Most* and - within each area of importance to you - a good reminder of the intrinsic value of weaving all of the relationships in your life into your life, via your calendar, in general and explicit ways, short- and long-term.
I believe if you read or listen to the book with a view toward genuinely asking - and answering - for yourself *What Matters Most*, the authors will give you the tools to prioritize and *Do* that which matters most. Perhaps, as I have, you'll find yourself scheduling your priorities, instead of prioritizing your schedule.
