Get Your Sh*t Together

Marcy Pursell 

** spoiler alert **
           Early on, the author describes that most people are like Alvin and the Chipmunks, either Theodore, Alvin, or Simon. She returns to these three types throughout the book; I'm definitely a Simon. Overall, a simple enough task, to get your shit together, and yet I didn't live some of her examples and how black and white she made it all seem.

i am big on self help books even though most are most definitely mediocre at best - including this one. although i agree with the AIM of the take this book was trying to take.. i don’t think it was exactly successfully achieved.

an extreme pet peeve of mine is how self help books now a days are written. i understand a book on pure knowledge or attempt at education can be easily boring, but we don’t need to have 500 different fonts, the author having a conversation with herself, or anything along those lines. it’s unnecessary and not as fun as these authors think it is. plus they all sound the same.

the only reason I’m giving this 3 stars is because it probably is helpful for people who don’t know what to do. however, her advice is mediocre and (as a nineteen year old) things I already know. but just because I know it doesn’t mean everyone does, hence the rating for its basics.

If you wish to read a good genuine self help book, Stay Alive by Matt Haig is extremely touching, raw, real, and has a cringe factor of 0%. Although a different topic, I assume the rest of his books are similar and he is an avid self help / mental health aid book writer. i have yet to come across another author in this genre that is bearable.

I feel like this might be a helpful and entertaining read for people in their early 20s but once you’re hitting 30, you probably already have your shit together to the point where this book won’t do much for you!

Short read and mostly good but lost interest in the end.

Proven fact: you can never finish something you didn’t start ~ Get Your Shit Together, Sarah Knight

Sometimes a book crops up at just the right time and this was one of those. I’d had it on the reserve list at the library for a while and just like that it was in my hands the moment that I needed it.

I am a chronic perfectionist and people pleaser. These attributes have caused me so much burnout and distress over the years that the feeling of overwhelm has just built and built. Yes, this book is extremely sweary but honestly, I felt like Sarah was just sat across from me with a cuppa telling me everything will be alright if I just broke everything down into manageable chunks and work slowly towards that bigger goal.

Small steps. Manageable chunks. Strategise. Focus. Commit.

Ovviamente non mi aspettavo da un libricino del genere una soluzione contro l'ansia, però speravo che fosse almeno divertente! Si perde in stereotipi, parolacce a non finire e emoticons ( sì, davvero! ) senza senso. Bah.

[full disclosure: This was a Goodreads Giveaways win] 
I liked this little guide. I appreciated the lighthearted tone and the simple approach to setting goals and building good habits. This style was especially helpful to me as a chronic overthinker. Non-judgemental, easy to remember, and very irreverent. While I didn't have any major epiphanies, I'll keep it on hand for when I'm stuck in a rut or feeling overwhelmed.
