Easy reading, tips for time management. A good revision of what to do and not to do.

[Glenn Glerum · Rating 1 out of 5]

Only the first two chapters are worth reading. The rest is unstructured and composed of snippets form other books. Just have glance at the suggested books in the back for further reading and take you pick from there. To be frank there are better Time Management books out there.

Good but forgetful

Not bad; just heard it all before.

A remarkable choice on how to be wiser in allocating time. 3 hours of reading is sufficient to finish this book, or maybe even shorter.

I got this book from a local bookstore just recently. The bookstore was giving high price discount and I can't be arsed to queue on several bookshelves seeing the crowd. Fortunately (or was it unfortunately ?) the management bookshelf is empty so I dared myself to just stroll around the area and Voila ! I found this book !!!
I fell in love instantly with the book, obviously because I get more than what I thought I'd get from this book, being a true procrastinator.
One of the quote I won't ever forget and I put all over my office room is:
"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Theresa, Leonardo Da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein."
That was taken from H. Jackson Brown's Life's Little Instruction Book, quoted by John Hoover.

A very pretty kick in the ass, isn't it?

Basic organizational book for newbies

This book offers the basics for organization for yourself, co-workers, and your boss. It doesn't have a lot of teeth in it to help organize the load of emails and interruptions that we all suffer from.

Breezy read. No nonsense ideas. Practical and doable. Demands change of mindset. Simple yet effective language. Persuasive self help book. Go for it!
