Ya, I like his stuff. 

Though, I did try his planning system for a month and found it took too much time and effort to implement, especially working a full-time job.  There was some results like less stress... Maybe I wasn't doing it right.  

I can imagine it being great for people in school, doing freelance work, or who govern their work load more autonomously.  

But as someone who doesn't have much spare time, spending the time to do the planner felt like too much.  

If I do it again I'd probably not put so much time into it yet do it more precisely.
