"There's a lot of fluff in this book" according to Amazon Customer. This is definitely not a super-competent book. I bought it because of the glowing reviews, but that was a mistake on my part. The author no doubt has a thriving productivity consulting business, but this book definitely did NOT help me to improve my productivity.The concept of the book seemed reasonable -- six characteristics of productive people. But I was surprised by the book contents. There was page after page after page of how to click around in Microsoft Outlook, or how to use various features for emails, meetings, planning, with general references to various web. "Super Effective!" according to O. Halabieh. The main premise of the book as Laura best describes it is summarized as: "Success will come to those who can accomplish more in less time and consistently perform at their productive best. The people who achieve their fullest potential are not simply competent; they're SuperCompetent." The book then goes on to outline the main areas that SuperCompetents excel in:"SuperCompetent people are better in the following areas than everyone else:Key 1: Activity - SuperCompetent people are driven by intense focus on priorities and have a clear sense of direction. Value determin. "Super Competent" according to Suzanne Vaughan. This book helped me get back on track with ideas that I could immediately implement to help me get more done. I have left the office 80% more satisfied each day this week by incorporating some of Laura's ideas. I have always considered myself organized, but found that I was not able to overcome some of my weaknesses in planning and preparation. I have a new list of things to do based on this book and the great suggestions in it. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs help in getting better at what they do!
