Story
If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

Story
Study after study finds there is one trait that sets the most successful people apart from the rest of us. That one trait isn’t wearing the same shirt everyday or some secret workout formula. The one trait that successful people have is that they know how to form good habits that stick. If you have ever struggled to keep a New Year’s resolution or if you have a hard time meeting your goals, you need this book. This book will teach you how to form good habits, how to make them stick, and what habits you should be forming. The power of habit stacking is that by slowly introducing small habits into your life you start to build synergies. You will begin to be getting more out of each habit every time you stack another, small good habit on top of it. It will seem like magic, but habit stacking is based on science.

Where are the PDF's for this book?
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
This book should have included pdf files of the various tables and lists that were narrated. The narrator dictating these lists was boring and rather less useful than being able to see them in printed form.

Just So-So
This selection does offer some good suggestions and practicle advice however some of their ideas are rediculous. I would estimate that 70% of the information is valuable. Also, the website that they refer the listner to is no longer running.

Not going to find you any free time
And if it does, you'll be spending it organizing your fridge.
I'm only on week 4 of the 10 week program and, although some of the steps are genuinely helpful, a couple are pretty annoying (isometrics at traffic lights? kitchen dancing?).
My overall impression is that this is a more easily followed program for a stay-at-home mom or at least someone with a very flexible work schedule whose children are out of diapers. I don't qualify.
But then again, I've always done all our laundry only once a week and never felt the need to write that down.
