Editorial Reviews

Review

Compared to other time management books that all seem to be saying the same thing, Making Time Work for You is a refreshing change. It offers a clear, simple, and direct no-nonsense approach to time management. It's the best book of its kind that I have read.

I have read over a dozen books on time management. This book clearly stands out. When I first read it I could not believe how well its insights and suggestions resonated with my feelings and experience. It's a shame that when so many worthless books are selling in big quantities this book has to be special ordered. The section on "time policy" alone is worth the price of the book. If I were to get one book on time management this would be it.

I agree with what the other reviewer said. I, too have several time mgmt. books and this one stands out. His guiding philosophy about time and life has made a big difference in how I spend my days, and I mean spend, as he points out, time is our most valuable resource. Why would we waste our precious minutes and hours, like water down the drain? We can never get them back. Make every one of them count for what you want out of life. This book will show you how to think about and enrich your life.
