No gadget, no illustration, no gimmick. Pure know-how

Merrill and Donna are in the "time management business". Because they work in Grandville (Michigan - USA) I was quite interested. Grandville is the closest harbor to my birth place. It was also Christian Dior birthplace and childhood paradise. This would not be enough to give 4 stars to this book. In fact, even if this book looks boring to me. Very classical typography, layout. No illustration. Despite of all these drawbacks professional experience of Merrill and Donna are very helpful and clearly distilled in this book. Buy it with Outlook 2000 software.

A Terrific Book!

I actually read this in 1995, but I've recommended it to so many people over the years that I thought I should give it an endorsement here. It completely transformed the way I work. If you want to become organized, efficient, and productive, get, read, and, most important, USE this book!
