Having been on a productivity nonfiction binge, i'm convinced all the ideas work, but the bulk of the effort is actually applying the advice. Otherwise, it's too easy to get caught in the cycle of epiphany porn.

The core ideas -- focus on one thing, have clear next actions for each thing, spaced repetition, stop when you're getting good (hemingway), etc, can be summarized in a couple of blog posts but the main benefit from reading is the perceived motivation boost after.

Once you settle on a plan (which itself it the main challenge, and something to think long and hard about), make sure to actually use it and test what works for you!
