Like all Don Aslett books, this one is funny and inspirational. But I can't rate it as high as most of his books, because Don (he prefers that term of address) assumes that everybody is able to keep up with his level of strength of mind and body. For many of us, that's just not possible.

But he provides many shortcuts most of us wouldn't think of. To that extent, this book can help anyone from 13 to 93. I can't address older people because I don't know anyone older than 93, and I'm not sure all 12-year-olds or younger could read it profitably.

The best thing about Done! is that Don never tells us to hide the junk by sticking it under the couch when a guest is coming. He doesn't tell us to go out and buy 57 beautiful baskets at $10 each to store the 57 magazine subscriptions we never read in. No--he tells us to get rid of the junk, and even how go get rid of it if you have to cry and kiss it goodbye. He tells us to cancel the 57 magazine subscriptions and if we REALLY want to read one of them go to the library and do it.

I arrived in Salt Lake City 23 years ago with more than 4000 books made of paper. That was before I started reading Don Aslett. Now I have fewer than 1000 books made of paper, and those are present only because they are heavily illustrated or not available in ebook format (Amazon, Kindle needs more books!), and I might want to read them at two AM in a blizzard. Of course the presence of a library a block away had some influence.

The second best thing about this book is Don's advice on the back cover: "Plan work that you can really deliver in a realistic time frame." On second thought, maybe that's the best thing.
