- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The fact that it had a variety of time management hacks from tons of people. I enjoyed reading it in fact had to read it twice that’s how badly I enjoyed this book. I can say it has changed my life in a way my life is 100% fully organized and I have sufficient time to do almost everything that is important. Thumbs up to writer, publisher and his team .
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5While the tips presented in the book were quite useful, I feel like it was lazily written and edited. A lot of the time management tips were highly redundant. It was terrible. It felt like the author wrote simply for the sake of filling up space. I hope he realises this.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really brought the importance of the small things that turn into huge successes and win wins for everyone.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great tips, quick read on time management. Definitely worth the time.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was so useful for my life. Thank you very much. murat.aksak@orcanile.com
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5it was a nice one a good way to add wings to spirits
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Extremely useful to start making efficient use of your time. It gives an acceptable grasp of each one of the 15 habits listed here, but of course, it would be needed one book per "habit/secret", to really really master them. But at least gives you a lot of hints, books and sources about where to start to improve your life and your time management and productividty skills.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book is an eye opener! It helps you to live a meaningful life.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Le livre est très bien organisé , mais la partie comprenant les citations est ennuyante
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Quick to read and to the point, this book is full of easy-to-follow advice for time management. It is a combination of the author's own advice, with brief advice and quotes from billionaires, entrepreneurs, Olympic athletes, and straight-A students. Some are the result of the author's own research and enquiries; some he just seems to have borrowed. Still, he does a good job organizing it and making it readable. He also offers a set of mostly memorable time management quotes, although some of them are repeats that he has quoted earlier in the book. He also provides chapters at the end of the book that sum up (i.e., repeat) the advice from the billionaires, athletes, etc. All in all, there is quit a lot of padding to get the book to a minimum book length. Also, widely spaced typography!Still, I recommend this book highly. A time management book shouldn't take a long time to read. It should get to the point--and this one does.My biggest takeaway is a simple one: don't add your tasks to a to-do list; schedule them on your calendar. That simple act causes you to make a commitment and keep things real, rather than having a lot of tasks on your list that get pushed back day after day, month after month.Some of the advice, such as taking lots of handwritten notes, I was already doing, and I can confirm its value.The author offers additional content online, which is helpful, but mainly designed to get you on his mailing list. How ironic that one piece of his advice is to unsubscribe from as many mailing lists as possible!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I wish I had read this book decades ago. Oh, the time I would have saved by not spinning my wheels on ineffective scheduling. Time is our most valuable resource and yet we often fail to manage it so that we can directly reach our goals. Logical, practical, insightful, and brilliant are the time management methods used by billionaires and top-performers in every industry. They are revealed here for all to apply. Thank you, Kevin Kruse, for this revelation. I am changing my habits and reducing stress through these tips and techniques.
