Summary: Great time-saving ideas that last for years.
Review: I've used some of Rebecca Morgan's time saving ideas and they work. Her language is clear, her ideas are new and fresh, and they really save time...and time, remember is money. So save lots of money...and time...with this book.

Summary: Be warned -- this is a pamphlet, not a book
Review: This publication hardly deserves to be called a book. It's 77 pages (including the index) and each page is only printed on one side. Also, most "chapters" are a little over a page, so almost half the pages in the book contain only a paragraph or two.I'll forgive the fact that most of the products described in the book are outdated by now; the author warns the reader of this several times herself. But what I can't forgive is the extremely brief and painfully shallow descriptions the author gives to these products. Most of the information given is usually a phone number or address for the manufacturer of a product. Consider this: the "chapter" on scanners is barely half a page, but the "chapter" on telephone headsets is a page and a half. Not only does this show where the focus of this book is, but it also shows how little is actually presented about real technologies. The only reason I gave this pamphlet 2 stars instead of 1 is that it could be a nice intro for a complete novice... a complete novice who has had no contact with the professional business world or a computer. There's just so little here.

Summary: This book lets you experiment with technology skills.
Review: TurboTime motivates without intimidating. It's friendly, conversational style reduces using complex new technologies to easily accomplished steps that are sure to save you time. Morgan makes no assumptions about the reader. She provides encouragement and cites the benefits of learning to use new technologies - and then tells you exactly how to do this. TurboTime is an idea book for people who want to experiment with new skills. Morgan suggests simple and advanced ways to take advantage of opportunities to use technology to accomplish things that would be difficult to accomplish without it. TurboTime isn't dry or academic. Morgan presents personal examples of her own struggles to use technology as efficiently as possible. But she does not insist on particular brands and programs. Overall, it's a practical combination of illustrations and information, and is filled with easy-to-apply tips.
