Not good at all. I'm sure the author had good intentions, but this book was all over the place. Nothing was linear, there were random bullet points everywhere (one entire chapter of them!) and unfortunately I got through 75% of it before realizing there was not one useful bit of information. and as a self proclaimed self help junkie, that is saying a lot. A big disappointment...

It’s trying to do too many things. Really specific routines and relationship advice? It was kind of scattered. Didn’t really learn much new.
This book doesn't mess around with being coy. You can read the three steps right on the jacket flap. I appreciated that, because I hate it when a book hides its selling point in an effort to entice me. More than being up-front, though, the book is good. The author lays everything out in easy-to-follow steps, and provides tons of extra worksheets online. The third step is strengthening routines, and this was the most helpful to me. By carefully planning out routines, you can build habit strength and accomplish more of your goals. The example she gives in the book is of starting an exercise routine. She asks: What equipment will you need? How long will it take you to get ready? How long will you exercise? How long will it take you to shower after you exercise? Taking all of these factors into consideration makes it more likely that you'll succeed.
Are all time management books written by such bubbly optimists? I felt like this was something some friends in high school and I would have written to make fun of time management books, except this really got published. The ideas weren't bad, but the delivery was difficult for me personally.
I would like something a little more inspiring and down to earth I know what to do (turn off internet, stop writing Goodreads reviews, have fewer children), I would just like someone to more practically tell me how to do it.

Strengths: The book does a good job of showing the connections between our thoughts and feelings and our time management.
Weaknesses: A lot of the book is focused on habits, routines, and other things that people who have thought much about time management will already know.
This book is good for: people who want general ideas for improving time management and aren't trained in CBT and/or who don't have established routines. People who haven't read numerous books about habits.
This book is probably not good for: people who are thoroughly versed in CBT and/or habit formation but still struggle to recognize the passing of time like a normal human.
