Your personal goals.2. Your business and money goals.3. Your overall happiness.Each of the 21 chapters in this book shows you how to be more disciplined in one aspect of your life, with end-of-chapter exercises to help you apply the “no excuses€ approach to your own life. With these guidelines, you can learn how to be more successful in everything you do—inste

The book was published in 2010, but it reads like written in the 80s. As a "quick and dirty" productivity related read it is fine, but if you read more then 5-10 books in that field you won´t gain anything new from it. I couldn´t take his advices about health / fitness / marriage / children seriously because it´s outdated at some point. I don´t know why, but I got the feeling that wrote this book with 90, but my research showed it was in his 70s. This explains a lot. If anybody read this book it should be taken with a grain of salt and not as a "bible".

No excuses is to be taken literally.

I felt the process fell short on this one. Every single recommendation falls short when you dont have the motivation to keep at it. Reading "atomic habit" as a prerequisite seems to be very valuable to establish a path to execute on all the aspects that Tracy dives into. You are expected to figure it out yourself while being given some examples and some guidelines on how to figure out what to improve. It is a book to think about rather than immediatly act upon.
