Summary: The best book on time management ever written
Review: I can think of no other book on time management that brings together everything you need to know about managing your time in such a short text. If you read just one book on time management - this is the one! I continue to review this book every couple years to refine my approach.

Summary: Still using these principles 23 years later!
Review: I first read Alan Lakein's book in 1981. I picked it up 10 years later and was amazed to see how many of the principles had become so much a part of my life I. I was living the book and hadn't even realized it until I picked it up again.One of my favorite principles is to start working on something that's important to you, even if it's 15 minutes at a time. I've done this. Scheduled something I didn't think I had time to do for 15 minutes a week. I certainly could do that. Well, when it's something that I really want, I find the momentum builds and I end up finding the time to do what I need and being really happy that I did. This book has helped me get in touch with what's really important to me and has helped me live a life I truly value. Thank you Alan Lakein!!

Summary: a joke?
Review: i found this book accidentally and immediately lost it on purpose. heres my take: if you want to get control of your time and your life, begin by making it a personal goal to refrain from reading literature like this. alan lakein cares neither about time management nor about your personal well being. alan lakein got a business degree and wrote books in order to make money: hes no philosopher people. forgetting about what you should be doing or making goals is in itself a waste of time. just live, people! do not buy this. in my beginning is my end...and where do you see yourself in one hundred years?

Summary: An ingenious book.
Review: I have a devious mind, expert at rationalization & denial. I also HAD a fearsome procrastination habit, & was the master of self-sabotage, but no longer. This creative & shrewd book addressed my problems, & solved them. The author has extraordinary insight into human motivation, especially considering that he is not a psychiatrist, but rather a Harvard MBA.

Summary: Don't purchase any other time management book!
Review: I have been reading this book for many years. I used to be a business consultant for a large stock broker firm and I alway purchased a copy of this book for any salesperson who needed to tighten up their lost time. You can open this book at any page and learn something even after you have read it for years. I just ordered another copy after giving away my present copy. I suggest you buy more than one because you will want to share the wealth with your friends. It doesn't make any sense to say anything about time management other than what Alan Lakein has already said.

Summary: Fascinating Book
Review: I read this book couple of days back. Its a very interesting book on managing your time. But it reality no one can help us manage our time; the burden is on us !!. If you are looking for a book which can give you a magical stick for time management then I am afraid this is not a right book, on the other hand you will learn new time management techniques those are really helpful. This book talks about To-Do list and procastination problem and gives some wonderful suggestions ; keep reading and have patience you will eventually like it. However, I feel this book is not complete we live in internet world today, things are fast but its a good starting point

Summary: Excellent and Great Value
Review: I think that virtually any book that you read on time mangement has drawn from the ideas found in this book. It contains straight talking practical advice that if followed will lead you to personal happiness and fulfilment. He also provides a fast track through the book (go to pages 158, 30, 11) on the back that gets you thinking about and doing the most benificial things quickly. Handy for those that feel they do not have the time to read a whole book.

Summary: One of the three or four most helpful books I've ever read.
Review: It helped me go from being mediocre as a junior in college to being accomplished as a senior in college, while giving me a sense of control and of hope about accomplishing what I wanted to accomplish in life. And many of its tips and recommendations still help me organize myself on a daily basis, 17 years later. I cannot recommed this book highly enough. Read it, give it to people you love.
