You never forget such a book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Though it looks quite old fashioned to-day, it is full of sound advice that ar untemporal and international ... Hints are so well related to our human nature that you will appreciate this book whether you are chinese or from Albion (Michigan), the most beautiful small college in the world!
My life is much more fun & balanced since reading this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
It's truly a shame that this book is no longer stocked. Since I first read it, back in 1990, I have recycled over 8 hours, per week, back into my personal life. This is the gift of this book. I learned that time management isn't simply a bunch of random techniques that allow you to spend more time at work. Instead, it's a set of a few effective principles that allow you to spend more time in your life. To play more. Visit more. Enjoy more. It's easy-to-read and easy-to-do. Within 7 days you'll see and "feel" the difference in your life!
One of the most useful books I've ever read

I found this so useful that I bought copies for all my colleagues in my department and we used it as a resource for quick discussion meetings on how to save time. Full of practical sense.
Absolutely essential time management and organization primer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book was an inspiration that started me on a successful top management career. I've used this book in several leadership roles, over a 20-year period, as an motivational primer to set subordinates on a path to self-management and achievement. It's a quick and easy guide on how to get things done and to simplify your life too. Beats all of the other how-to books on time management that I've read, combined. Some of the basic management skills never change, no matter what the latest popular trend or fad.
This book is the book for the chronically disorganized
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This book is the book for the chronically disorganized. It offers many practical and straightforward tips. I have read several books on the subject, most of which lectured the reader or talked down to them. This book provides bite-sized morsels of information. Disorganization is a life long problem, much like alcoholism. It is very easy to fall off the wagon. This book takes about an hour to read. Its length, humerous style and subject-by-subject organization makes it very practical to reread whenever one falls off the wagon. It has become my bible. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Organization and The Organized Executive Pale in comparison
