Short summary

We live in a fast-paced world. We’re often running around from one responsibility to another, feeling overwhelmed and stressed out. In addition, we’re continually chasing our tails, always trying to catch up with the things we didn’t get the time to do yesterday. However, if you want to save yourself some time and get things done, you need to stop and figure out how to create some space in your mind and life. Create Space is the ideal companion for anyone who simply feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day. You’ll soon come to realize that you’ve been chasing your tail for far too long. Author, Derek Draper, wants to share his life-long examples with you. Having worked in politics and as a psychotherapist, this best-selling author has solid advice to help you change your life for the better. “It’s no use having the best ideas if you can’t make them happen. An ability to get things done, to execute consistently and well, is essential to success.” ~ Derek Draper

Reflection is vital to doing good work, but it requires space, effort, and willingness

Listen the first key point

You need to practice self-awareness if you want to be good at what you do; you need to know your strengths and weaknesses. Whether you’re a CEO, an artist, or a lawyer, taking the time to look within is key. Self-awareness will help you identify potential problems and develop the mental capacity to make better decisions.

The key to self-awareness is “reflection,” otherwise known as “engaging in a meaningful conversation with self.” One benefit is the boost it gives your decision-making abilities while reducing errors. Before embarking on a course of action, you should invest some time into considering possible side effects and other viable alternative options. And after execution, you should analyze outcomes and identify the rights and wrongs. Doing this guarantees fewer mistakes going forward.
You need a little time to yourself regularly to think clearly. A cluttered mind does not help you focus!
For a meaningful reflection to occur, you need space. This space does not magically come to existence; you need the effort to bring it to fruition. A study from Harvard University revealed that CEOs have less than 15 hours every week for solo work. If it is difficult for CEOs to create time for reflection, it is not easy for the rest of the workforce.

Even if you eventually carve out some time for reflection, eliminating distractions can be challenging. Of course, reflection does not always bring about pleasant realizations. For instance, it may lead you to realize that a past action was foolish. Nevertheless, if you want to reap the benefits of self-awareness, you have to acknowledge the good with the bad.

Create Space shows you how to find the time for self-reflection. Having mastered that, you will be more able to work on yourself and identify any routes forward you need to take for long-lasting, positive change. From understanding the importance of building relationships and understanding your emotions, this summary will help you revolutionize your life and stop chasing that tail of yours.
second key point

Learning allows you to overcome your fears while exploring emotions helps you to connect with your inner self

A willingness to learn goes hand in hand with having space to think. While reflection provides the time to learn about yourself, you won’t achieve anything without creating a suitable space and mindset receptive to growth and development.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
