Disclaimer: I got this book as a gift. I've read other Chandler books. My favorite is The Prosperous Coach. But I'm glad I read this one too.
I listened to this book on audio. The narrator was clearly and crisp, easy to follow and the book is written in a very easy language. The audio is just over 2 hours so it should not take you long to go through it. Why it took me weeks to finish listening and to re-listen to so many parts is beside the point :). Sigh, I just couldn't get into the rhythm of the book. It was not as engaging - even though it covered useful stuff - so I almost didn't have enough of a hook to keep listening. I also admit that my favorite genre of book is fiction.
Okay here are my thoughts as a savvy writer, self-employed, world-traveling yogi who is always doing things: This book gave me some ideas how to "manage my time" better - a phrase that Chandler dissects in great detail so now I use it cautiously, but still left me wondering a little about the execution.
The book is good and covers a lot of common sense nuggets of wisdom that will whip you into shape if you follow them. Discipline, commitment, doing what you say, not caring whether you feel like it or not, a lot of nuggets also taken from self-development experts that I follow such as Byron Katie (Is it true?), Bruce Lee, and several others. The key concepts of the book are solid and great. I also have studied personal development for so long that I feel I knew just about most concepts and ideas covered in the book so I wasn't awed by anything new. If you are having problems managing your time and keeping your promises and making the kind of progress in life that you believe you can, then it's a great book. I just didn't respond as well to the tone and style as I had hoped, and that is personal, so I'd still recommend the book to you and may you become a time warrior!

Loved this book - great nuggets of info to reshape your beliefs on procrastination and getting things done. Definitely a book I will refer back to in the future.
A good one for morning reading for any creative, entrepreneur, people pleaser, or procrastinator.
Super short chapters. I read a few each day. Didn’t pack the punch that The Prosperous Coach did, but still worth a read.
Wagner is able to deliver easy and accessible concepts in a way that are super digestible and immediately actionable. The content is mostly good reminders bundled together in an easy to read format. There are some interesting ideas about exploring non-linear time, an idea I’ve been toying with and learning about from multiple sources.
When one approaches a project with a non-linear mindset, so many more paths are possible. Pick one and go! Guaranteed, you will get somewhere.

"Today I don't place a lot of value in regretting my past or even trying to understand it. Identifying past patterns and labeling my flaws and weaknesses. Not much value in that because the present moment opportunity disappears while I do that.
How do I want to be NOW? Do I want to finish what I start? I can do that. But I just have to do it. Which is me going on the offensive. Because the best defense is a great offense."
If you're looking for a book that will teach you how to manage your time more efficiently, this is not that book.
In classic Steve Chandler style, Time Warrior calls you to attention, forces you to confront yourself as the only reason nothing gets done and then gently reminds you through countless examples how to step into your role of living.
