Get Your Sh*t Together by Sarah Knight
3.0

Get Your Sh*t Together is a straight forward guide to living your best life. It’s full of easy and to the point advice about how to organize your life in order to get more done and pursue your dreams.

I didn’t love this book. Not because it wasn’t blunt and full of sound advice. But because I felt burnt-out on the “live your best life” topic. Again, there wasn’t a lot in this book that I felt was new advice to me. I also felt like Sarah was trying way too hard to be funny. However, I did enjoy the conversation and discussion I had with others in the book club. My key takeaways from Sarah are 1) set goals that motivate you and that you can break down into small manageable chunks and 2) prioritize those chunks. Plan them into your day. Make sure you take action. And don’t get caught up in perfectionism because that cycle won’t get you anywhere.

So here’s a book that can motivate you to take action if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, and like you just want to get your head above water and start swimming.
