2.0 out of 5 stars Very tactical. Too short to be long lastingly helpful, October 9, 2008

By	ServantofGod - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

For those who can spare at most 30 minutes to read on Time Management, and already have the will, the motivation but lack the means, it's fine. With the author's effort to trim this important topic into 2 pages for each of the 24 techniques, there could be no serious attempt to help readers diagnose and prognose root causes of procastination, disorganisation and so on, the key factors of our time management problems. Without any change of mindset and belief to confront their own psychological blockade and to take action, I doubt whether those tactical techniques will be long lasting, if they could be effective at all. In short, I dare not recommend this to anyone who takes time management serious. For those who really want the cure, Eat that frog by Brian Tracy, 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Life Management by Hyrum Smith, The Time Trap by Alec Mackenzie and Time Tactics of Very Successful People
by B. Eugene Griessman are outstanding choices for your consideration.

p.s. Below please find my favorite passage for your reference.

We each have a personal perspective of time, but most of us arent aware that we have subconscious feelings about time. Most people have a poorly defined sense of how they spend their time. pg 2
Read better and less. pg 41
If you ever find yourself wondering whether or not you're going on too long about something, you probably are. pg 44

My husband was recommended this book. He read it and reread it and ordered 5 more for collegues and family and friends. It has definite suggestions not just philosophy of time management.

I really liked this book! The methods taught I put into use right away and my desk is clear. A quick read and a good discription of the six biggest time wasters.
