A useful book for those new to time management. Many of the ideas are explained in more detail and better in other books.

Gah! That was not worth my time! Most ideas in this are copied form other books and just re-summarized. At least the author gives credit often is the one thing I can give. Honestly I felt like I was reading a long ramble on mainstreaming life goals and ideas. There are a couple decent ideas, but not original. I didn't get anything new out of this. Just a "been there, read that." Several of the ideas you have to live a certain lifestyle to qualify. And no, I could not think of a way to apply it to my life.
Now the real reason I rated it so low: The grammar and spelling was atrocious! Now I must admit I was reading a review copy so I could over look the terrible formatting (like how the first word of every paragraph had a space in the middle of it) and hope they would be fixed but the sheer amount of basic errors baffled me. If this was a paper turned in to any English teach I ever had in Middle or High School I would have received an F. When it is that bad, it should not be submitted as a review copy even. So it was very frustrating to get through. A final copy might have earned 2 starts but the formatting would have to be amazing and grammar near perfect even still. This whole book just rambled like a bad blog entry. Maybe if I keep going on this rant, you will get the idea...

Another small self-help book to help us simplify our lives and express with clarity and, above all to ourselves, what are our goals and how we promise to reach them. As well-written and clear, it is really very short and somehow I found it rather superficial.
Un altro piccolo manuale di autoaiuto per aiutarci a semplificare la nostra vita e ed esprimere con chiarezza, prima di tutto a noi stessi, quali sono i nostri obiettivi e come ci promettiamo di raggiungerli. Per quanto ben scritto e chiaro, é veramente molto breve ed in qualche modo l'ho trovato piuttosto superficiale.
THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND MOOD PUBLISHERS FOR THE PREVIEW!

This was a quick read by someone who I admire online. She has smart ways to set new goals and strategies to reach them. While some of the information were things I had heard before, she presents it in an entirely new way. If you're ready to create new goals or establish a new routine, start with this book!
Simplistic method on how to reach goals whether they are big or small. This book helps to break down goals into chunks that are manageable with acronyms that you can remember. I really picked up some useful tips on planning to reach my goals even though I consider myself an organized person. Definitely recommend.

Well written and refreshingly short! The author shares from her life experience of overwhelmed schedules and the small changes she discovered in her research and trial and error that meant redemption for her time. Whether you work in an office or count your hours at home, it's a quick read (I savored it, okay) and you'll finish it with tangible goals instead of a lot of the unattainable visions of self-achievement other books have left me with.
