Customer Reviews

An authentic book about time management!

I love this book - by chapter two my day had gone better, and was more productive. Fun to read and the exercises are actually helpful and not space fillers. Thank you Leslie. I wish I was in SF so I could do a time course with you in person - but your book is the best best thing.

A Totally Different Way to "Manage" Time

I am the target audience for this book: a person who thinks that if I only get my to-do list perfectly written, schedule my time to the nearest tenth of a second, make sure I'm always efficient, don't have downtime because it's not productive, THEN I'll get everything done (and also never be late, hahahaha). If you're like that, this book is for you. Leslie talks about time in a spiritual way, in a way I have never heard anyone else talk about it. Her approach to time is gentle AND no-nonsense, offering real solutions to those of us who need "magic, power (yay) and ease" in our lives around the issue of time.

Worth the Time

Ms. Keenan's direct but very personal style makes this book really work. She addresses the slippery issues of time and self-sabotage. She clarifies the ways we may deprive ourselves of satisfaction and life ease. I found her approach unique and workable - a coupling of firmly grounded, practical steps with a call to consider one's relationship with time a spiritual engagement. This book offers a chance to enjoy life again. I highly recommend it.

The Real Deal: A Powerful Book

This is that rare kind of self help book that's not only based on a deep personal exploration of the subject and a personal commitment to making life changes, but also reflects a real passion of being of service to others who want to make meaningful changes. Whether you are familiar with the 12 Steps or not, there's powerful leverage in the way the author uses the Steps as a structure for a deep and personal examination of how anyone can shift their relationship with time (which, I personally find to be among one of the most elusive challenges to change for myself.) I especially appreciated Leslie's insights into the different types of time (Linear Time, Natural Time & Spiritual Time). This book also offers very practical support for the creation of a Time Plan and how to follow it (which is perhaps even more challenging, at least for me), as opposed to overcoming the resistance to creating a Time Plan in the first place. Anyway, I highly recommend this book. (Full disclosure: I know Leslie and have done her TimeShifters seminar. See [...] for more info.)
