The Complete Idiot's Guide to Managing Your Time (3rd Edition)

Summary: A lot of good advice that makes sense
Review: This book packs a lot of good advice on how you can make most of your time-I found a lot of the recommendations relevant and useful, and the author's style makes it fun to read, too. Aside from the hilarious bug where the author relates the origins of the term "Faustian bargain" to Dr.Faustus of Christopher Marlowe (Hello? Have you ever heard of Goethe, Mr. Davidson?), the book was a very good read.

Summary: Useful information for those who didn't already know
Review: This is a good book as far as it goes. It gives advice on clock-watching, not wasting your leisure time, supporting priorities, health, cash flow, habits and much, much more. All the advice is sound. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because some of the information is very obvious, and some of it is probably more useful for Americans -- e.g. how to make the most of your two-week holiday (I live in Europe and get five weeks). But it's a good book.

Summary: Managing Your Time is easy to read, and REALLY helpful
Review: This is the best of all the time management books. For one, the author is a bonafide expert, having written several books tangential to the topic. The advice in here is very solid. Chapter after chapter, tip after tip, there is much that would benefit any reader, anywhere. The pace of society doesn't seem to be slowing down, and as the author says, it is up to each of us individually to carve out space and time we need to live the kind of life that we desire. This book is easy to read, fun to read, and ultimately, has lasting impact. You can only read it in byte size amounts like the author says, it will still work.
