Must Read Rework

A couple of friends recently recommended the book Rework, and it's been an excellent read thus far.  Rework was written by a couple of guys who have been really successful in a small software company, and have achieved success by going against many of the common beliefs about achieving success in the business world.  Lots of extremely successful business people such as Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks endorse this book as a must read.  I'm personally not a huge fan of the guy when he's court-side, but he's a great businessman.  This book is excellent for anyone involved in business or who's looking to start a business, but it's also applicable to everyday life.  Even if you have no intentions of starting a business, much of the advice in this book can be applied to your personal or professional life to achieve the optimal level of efficiency and success.  I'll just give one example: In Rework, the authors oppose 100 task to-do-lists (TDLs as I like to call them)  but instead to only make lists with 5-10 things, and to tackle each list one at a time.  I employed this strategy over the past couple of days, putting the most high priority things first, and so far I've seen excellent results in my motivation and productivity.  Keep in mind, this is just one example of one piece of advice that was covered on a page and a half, and this is a book full of great pieces of advice.  This is a quick read with about as much useful knowledge as I've seen in a book.  You won't regret reading Rework, trust me.
