Customer Reviews

Hold on tight to this book, you low-raters! You'll thank me

I've had this book for many years, probably since 1995 or 96. When I first read it, I would have given it a decent, but not overwhelming review - it seemed obvious and basic. But having lived, suffered (like all humanity!), and thought for the last decade, after re-reading it, let me tell you - it is simply a book of genius. And its genius IS in its simplicity and its completeness. You cannot do better than this in this field. That's the good news. The bad news is you cannot appreciate how good it is until you've lived a little, thought a lot, and have some of the other tripe that's out there to compare it to. And to think I almost gave it away after that first reading! Save it, you who don't like it now, read it again in 5-10 years, if you're lucky enough to be around. Godspeed!

Highly Recommended!

If B. Eugene Griessman wanted a good subtitle for this book of time-saving tactics, he could use, "Time waits for no one." He offers many common-sense pointers on how to avoid wasting your time - and how to keep others from wasting it, too. It's eye-opening to realize and calculate the value and importance of every hour, even your leisure time. People in all walks of life - students, stay-at-home parents, business leaders, teachers, self-employed workers - can glean ideas for using time effectively from this book. If you are a procrastinator, this book will encourage you to "do it now." While some of the suggestions here may seem too simplistic to those who already employ some time-management tactics, we [...] recommend this book for inveterate - if inadvertent - time-wasters. You know who you are.

Focused techniques go beyond the typical

The focused techniques and philosophies presented in this book go beyond the typical rhetoric offered in other books and articles on the topic. Author adds value by explaining the rationale behind his techniques. Content is applicable to professional and personal situations. I'd say the book goes beyond time management and addresses methods for effective living. Mastering the techniques in the book could be as useful as being able to type quickly in a computerized world.

Excellent. No other way of describing this.

I listened to the audio tape version of this. I should say I am still listening to it. Whether you are a CEO of a company or a busy housewife, if you are conscious of your time and time is valuable to you, then this is definitely for you. See what you're doing? Stop procrastinating. Get your nose in this book and learn some Time Tactics.
