A repeat of her first book, but okay

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 30, 2012

Verified Purchase

I found the author's first book, about organization, to be both inspiring and helpful on a psychological level, though many of her practical tips were just common sense. If you never read that book, you will find this one to be useful in the same manner, but if you've read the first, you don't need the second. Essentially, she markets time as a commodity like objects, except it has to be stored efficiently in a day instead of a basket or closet. Her main thesis, which you don't need an entire book to learn, is that you have to know how long a task takes in order to schedule it effectively. Once you have a realistic idea of what you need to do and how long it will take to do it, you should be able to handle your time - unless, of course, there are external, internal or technical obstacles to this. An external obstacle might be working, raising a family, and suddenly having an aging parent to care for. An internal obstacle might be an inability to say "no" when asked to take on yet another task when your schedule is already packed. A technical obstacle might be as simple as not having a calendar (electronic or paper) so you have to rely on your memory for appointments and projects. This book can be awkward at times, since the author is clearly modeling it on her wildly successful first book, from the title to the set-up. Not all of time management fits into the same categories as space and object organization. And, as in the first book, many of the tips she gives are just common sense. Also, some of the advice is a little dated in this economy; hiring someone to do tasks for which you don't have time is not necessarily possible for people who are unemployed or underemployed. Overall, I'd go with her first book and adapt it for yourself, rather than work with this one. However, it isn't a bad book and is certainly easy to follow.

Timeless Concepts for Finding More Time

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

In our family and businesses, we have all of her books. The best one we recommend to start with is "Time Management from the Inside Out, Second Edition". This book doesn't focus on material stuff much (for that, read "Organizing from the Inside Out, Second Edition"), but once you have your time organised then everything else is a lot easier to manage.

Some of the concepts you learn from Time Management can be applied to stuff, making the other books a lot easier to apply. We love this book so much, we incorporate the concepts it in our company management training as well as at home with our kids. By the end of the first two sections, you really feel like you're on a roll and become excited about getting the rest of your life into gear simply because you have found the time to make it happen. By the time you reach the end of the book, you really feel encouraged and confident simply by having followed through on how Morgenstern guides you through getting your time organised.

This book is definitely a game changer for everyone who uses the advice, but you have to actually do it. My family and I highly recommend this book.

This book (and her other book on organization) really helped me change my approach for the better!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love her books. For me, they pointed me in just the right direction. She says something early on in the book to the effect of, even if I used a third of the ideas, it would radically improve my use of time. That was absolutely true for me! I have a very busy job, and this was just the info I needed. I'd also add that I saw a little video of her talking about the weekends, and it rocked my world, so I'll share it. She said that if you start looking at your weekends as 7 segments (Fri PM, Sat and Sun each with AM - mid-day - PM), then you can fit in what you need to, what you want to, and have free segments. She said it would leave you more refreshed and ready for the week, and that has been 100% right for me. I covet free time so I can read, journal, plan, etc. (read: dork). And this frames it in a way where I don't resent scheduled activities. Highly recommend.

3.5 stars - good, but better books out there

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

At the time that I bought this book, I bought several others on time management.

Had I not read any of the others, I might have given this book 4 stars. It covers a lot of concepts well - such as good enough over perfect, fixing time and flexing scope, the importance of estimating how long things take, and doing incremental planning.

I also like that this is one of the few books that actually encourages taking measurements of how you spend your time to get an accurate baseline. This is really important, and not many other books talk about this.

Some things that I disagree with - assigning a spot in the calendar for every task. I'm also not a fan of the 'planner' that the author espouses.

Overall the book is good, but if I had to recommend 1 book on time management to someone, it would probably be 'Getting Results the Agile Way' by JD Meier, which is an excellent book. I also found Getting Things Done, Zen to Done, Personal Kanban, and the Pomodoro Technique to be very good reads as well. If you really want to have a top notch system, I'd recommend all of them - in which case you can safely skip this book.

Don't get me wrong, it's good, there are just better books out there.

Make your time management uniquely you

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

Excellent!!!!! This, and the author’s book Organizing From the Inside Out are a great pair to own; they reinforce each other. Her concept is GENIUS—since everyone is unique each person’s organization of their space will be different—as will the organization of their time. The time management book has a lot of good tips and information to make your schedule reflect your personality and your needs better—and thus work better for you.

Useful tips but a bit outdated

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

Enjoying this overall and applying many of the paper-planner based tips. Be aware however that the author writes as if cloud-based technology and mobile phones don't exist eg "If you use software on your desktop as your sole time-management tool, and are mobile, print out pages and carry them with you". There are many references to "palm pilots", this edition being published in 2004. But sound principles such as immediately assigning new tasks a date and time to be tackled, grouping similar tasks together and making time more material by the overstuffed closet metaphor, have been useful.

And You May Find Yourself

Makes you think

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 13, 2007

Verified Purchase

Time management is really about planning ahead. The author of this book makes you think about your particular style and needs, and gives you ideas about how to work with them.

For my particular issues, her most useful suggestions were:
(a) avoid setting unrealistic deadlines for yourself and either build in the time that your natural rhythm demands or re-evaluate whether you need to do that particular job;
(b) learn to time errands accurately (getting it wrong means not assigning enough time, leading to panic, or assigning too much, leading to procrastination).
(c) assign a specific time to each task - as you would assign a place for an object in your home - rather than just plan to do it "this week"
(d) never use more than one planner - use the same one at home and at work.

One star removed for too extensive a discussion of types of planners.

So far as I have read the content is good. I do have one gripe and that is the paper quality is poor for a book of this price. I bought a book as I thought I would write notes by pertinent points but think the kindle version may have been a better choice.

Helping me work toward my goals

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

I needed this book! Normally, I don't mark up the books I own, but I am highlighting key points and making notes in this one. The author clarifies goal setting and breaks down the process by clarifying the steps. I read the book through once to get an overview, and now I'm reading it a second time as I begin applying what I am learning.

The only reason I downgraded the book to four stars is because it is a bit dated, having been published in 2004. The concepts are still valid although some technology references are obsolete.
