It’s beginning to look a lot like… planner season!

Only joking - in this mini-episode of Productivity Nerd, Kathy’s resisting the urge to bang on about her favourite notebooks (again) and is instead diving into a festive round-up of productivity books.

Think of it as a Christmas wishlist for nerds. Or a gift guide for that one organised friend who colour-codes their inbox.

From timeless classics like Getting Things Done and 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to the broccoli-in-book-form that is Deep Work, this is a whistle-stop tour through the titles that might just help you get your life together in the new year (or at least feel smug reading about how you could).

Expect strong opinions, some festive sass, and a reminder that “Eat That Frog” is both a book and a terrible breakfast idea.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or trying to drop unsubtle hints to your loved ones, this episode has your productivity stocking fillers sorted.

This episode mentions:

• Getting Things Done – David Allen

• 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – Stephen Covey

• Eat That Frog – Brian Tracy

• The 4-Hour Workweek – Tim Ferriss (brace yourself)

• Deep Work – Cal Newport (aka productivity broccoli)

• Atomic Habits – James Clear

• Plus bonus nods to Michael Hyatt and Leena Norms

Snuggle up with a Baileys, embrace your inner nerd, and let’s get bookish.
