Format:Paperback
I just finished the 3rd edition of MYT, and was quite impressed. I haven't seen the first two editions, but this one certainly fills the bill, if you're looking for solutions to time-pressure problems. That the book is funny, is a real bonus. It makes it easier to get through every chapter. I found the section found "Thinking Your Way Out of Timetraps" to be the best part of the book. After all, much of what we face on a daily basis is self-induced. You can blame your boss, you can blame other people, but when you really get honest with yourself, as you learn in the book, most of the time pressure you feel is a result of your own activities and beliefs. Do yourself a favor and get this book.

As a young adult, I am learning to juggle various aspects of my life such as work, socialising, outside commitments etc. This book has helped me understand what is truly important & what time wasting habits can & should be discarded. I must say that I am enjoying life far more now. This is truly a must read.

I encountered the Dummy's version of Time Management and was of disappointed. It seemed like it was just one ad after and another for the various products that the author was touting. The Idiot's version of Time Management in comparison is devoted to the reader. I didn't detect that the author had any affiliations with any products or services, and even if he does, it doesn't come through in these pages. Instead, I encountered one chapter after another of sound logic, action steps, and encouragement. If the book is lacking in any area it would be on using technology to enhance your use of time. But, you can always make the argument that tools of technology change so fast, that such discussion is better handled in newspaper and magazine articles anyways. The bottom line, this is an excellent book on time management and certainly worth the time it takes to read it.

Don't Be An Idiot
Excellent publication. Most Idiot's guides are written for the people who buy them. This book actually has practical and novel advice. Money well spent.

Managing Your Time is easy to read, and REALLY helpful
This is the best of all the time management books. For one, the author is a bonafide expert, having written several books tangential to the topic. Read more
