Great idea and concept for a book. A thoroughly enjoyable read. Highly recommended. .

Short, quick read about how to better manage your day - armed with some useful ideas about how to do it.

The thing is to do your things smarter, understand your goals and to know when to say no/delegate (among others). Nothing new, yes - but the book is understandable, simple and clear, no irrelevant beating around the bush here - which is always a plus in my books.

While I don´t think this is the leading book on the subject, I still have found some useful tips to manage my (mostly work) time better.

Gah! That was not worth my time! Most ideas in this are copied form other books and just re-summarized. At least the author gives credit often is the one thing I can give. Honestly I felt like I was reading a long ramble on mainstreaming life goals and ideas. There are a couple decent ideas, but not original. I didn't get anything new out of this. Just a "been there, read that." Several of the ideas you have to live a certain lifestyle to qualify. And no, I could not think of a way to apply it to my life.
Now the real reason I rated it so low: The grammar and spelling was atrocious! Now I must admit I was reading a review copy so I could over look the terrible formatting (like how the first word of every paragraph had a space in the middle of it) and hope they would be fixed but the sheer amount of basic errors baffled me. If this was a paper turned in to any English teach I ever had in Middle or High School I would have received an F. When it is that bad, it should not be submitted as a review copy even. So it was very frustrating to get through. A final copy might have earned 2 starts but the formatting would have to be amazing and grammar near perfect even still. This whole book just rambled like a bad blog entry. Maybe if I keep going on this rant, you will get the idea...

I had high hopes for this book but didn’t enjoy it very much.
