Life saving!.......2007-04-13
When my life was in chaos, this book sorted out my priorities.
I can apply almost all advices presented in this book to my life from the day I read it.
The chapters about procrastination are excellent.
Best Basic Time Management Book.......2007-01-23
This is the best introduction to time management. I believe one of the hallmarks of a good time management book is that one shouldn't have to spend a lot of time reading it. This book is brief, concise, and just about every sentence is useful. If you need to improve your time management skills start with this book.
Implementing just a few of the author's ideas will make your life more relaxed and enjoyable. However, beware of attempting to implement all of his ideas at once; this is bound to overwhelm most people and you may end up quiting your attempt at time management. Instead pick the top three or four suggestions the author makes, try them out for a few months, keep the ones that work for you, then read a little bit of the book again, pick some more ideas, try them out, and so on. After some time your life will be much better off for implementing the ideas in this book that work best for you.
After incorporating some of the ideas in this book into your life, I highly suggest moving on to David Allen's "Getting Things Done."
Highly recommended.......2006-12-10
I used this method for about 6 months several years ago and my life changed dramatically. I became known as "the one who gets it done!" This technique was life-changing! At some point it fell out of use but I am starting to use it again and seeing the positive effects on my life. If you are a self-professed procrastinator, as am I,(were) you will be so proud of what you can accomplish by following the guidelines in this book.
One of the best books on time management..........2006-10-06
There are lots of reviewers who have done a very thorough job of reviewing this book and its essential approach. What I want to add is my own personal experience using these principles. In short, they work and this brief text can really make a difference in how you manage your time and your life.
I was first exposed to this book when I attended Xerox International Center for Management Development in 1988. At that time, Xerox was giving a copy of this to every marketing employee who attended their leadership training. I used the methods in this book and still do today. I feel they have contributed to my success in the business world and I am very happy to wholeheartedly endorse this inexpensive, but invaluable book.
Time-management basics........2006-09-18
Alan Lakein's book on time management is one of the fundamentals in this field. Even though I would recommend you to also read at least one other book on time management, this book is as good as it gets. Some of the ideas that are presented here may seem a little extreme, but of course they are only ideas of how to improve the way you manage your time. The fundamental lesson is this: time is a limited resource and we can either waste it, or we can use it in a sensible manner and then enjoy the fact that we have free time on hand. In that logic, the author is presenting time in the same way in which your financial advisor would talk to you about money. It is a limited resource and in order to enjoy as much as possible of it, you need to invest it carefully.
The style of the book is easy. Sometimes, however it is not immediately clear what the author is getting at, but in any case you can read the whole book in a matter of hours. Five stars are awarded to this book, as you'll find it very useful to start off with the concept of time management. It also extremely good value for money!
