Customer Reviews

A well-rounded approach to life management

This book aims to yield maximum productivity by simplifying the workplace. It includes an analysis of the deeper psychological elements of clutter, including issues of reducing stress and achieving balance between work time and family time. A nice approach and a handy guide.

Lots of good ideas to be gleaned; a few misguided

Decent book, not quite up to par with Aslett's best books. Plenty of good ideas for minimizing overhead at work and concentrating on the "real" task that needs to get done. I take some exception at his recommendations to work evenings and weekends when needed - I think most purchasers of the book want to simplify their work life so they can get out of the office on time and enjoy the rest of their life. i.e. working overtime is one of the biggest components of a *non-simple* work life.
