I'm not even sure if I read this very book or not, 'cause I listened to the audio book and it was in Persian and it was about 21 ways to get the best outta time and basically time management; something I DO suck in. anyway, I think it had some really good tips and they could be useful if one use them in reality.personally I intend to use 'em someday,maybe when the weekend ends (at the moment,we're just in the beginning of the week,so it's very unfortunate).
the link below is my review of this book which I did for "Navaar" and it's in Persian. for anyone interested:
