The 7 Minute Difference

The Seven Minute Difference & The 7 Minute Life Daily Planner

I signed up with Buzz Blogger to try out items and review them which seemed like a fun idea. My first assignment was this book and workbook which were sent to me. How can you go wrong with a free book? I am under no obligation to give a glorious review but to just share my honest opinion. So let’s get on to it already.

When I first received the book and looked it over I had two thoughts run through my mind. The first was, “Maybe this can really help me figure out how to do something with my passions in life.” The second was, “Oh boy, another self help book.” Now the workbook struck my fancy a little more because I am a very list orientated person.

I decided to stay open minded as I ventured in, and the first few chapters of the book were great thought provokers. Though I did not sit down and define my goals and passions yet I mean to go back through and do just that. I think it is a great starting point for those of us trying to figure out what we should be doing with our lives. And honestly, isn’t that most of us?

After the first few chapters, though, it felt like it was much more orientated to those in the business world who are trying to further their career. It was hard to relate everything to normal life outside that setting. If you are in the business boat, please read this book because it is totally geared towards helping you make small decisions to make you better at what you do. But if you are like me and not at all there then I wouldn’t really recommend this book.

It’s ok and has some great principles about pursuing passions and perserverance to finish the race but I just didn’t see that it was a book that was going to change my life. Maybe I’m just a skeptic though. You could check it out and see if her ideas work for you and let me know.

The workbook I really like though. Even though I still think it is very geared towards business tasks it does have some very practical items to check off, such as how much water you’ve drunk and what you’ve eaten for meals and snacks. You can never have too many daily planners as far as I am concerned.
