Excellent time management resource July 26, 2008 This is an excellent time management and organization book - and I have read many of them! The book is set up to read and implement for 30 days (if you prefer). Each day offers advice for taking control of you day, time, and life. One thing I appreciate about this author is that she asks what will you do with the free time that you have - this is a valid point. If you get organized and manage time well, what will you do with the free time? She weaves goals and dreams perfectly into the strategy of time management.
Simplify indeed! May 31, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Simplify Your Time is an accurate title for a book that is well written, simple yet effective. The chapters are short enough to be read in an entire sitting but have great ideas on how to simplify your life. My personal favorite is the "Two Minute Pickup". This tip alone has saved me many hours of work and frustration in the past few days alone.
As a reader of several self-help books on time management, I was skeptical about "Simplify Your Time" but this is a must-read for anyone struggling to juggle one too many items on your to-do list, work, family and personal agenda!
I highly recommend it!
obvious and simplistic April 11, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Most of this is obvious stuff. "Hang up your coat when you take it off instead of dropping it on the couch." That is so obvious that it doesn't deserve a bulleted entry in a book. "Clean out a drawer while doing a load of wash for smart multitasking." Excuse me, did the author think I was just going to stare at the machine, waiting for the load to finish. This book tries to cover goal setting, prioritizing, life purpose, etc. But these are only given very short chapters and they deserve book length treatments. Overall, this is a light treatment of everything it tries to cover. There are better books on all the topic she covers. And there are no illustrations, except here boring charts and grids. Sometimes you read a book and feel as if the author has lived her subject matter to the point she is an expert, this isn't one of those times!! Read "It's all too much..." by Peter Walsh. If you follow his very thorough advice for getting rid of clutter then your life and time will organize themselves!!
Very Helpful December 11, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have really enjoyed reading this book. Each chapter explains one step to simplifying your time. It's set up as a one-month tool, but I read it through once and am re-reading to implement her ideas. I really like her practical ideas and realistic viewpoints.
helpful and readable October 18, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've read a lot of time management books, and this is probably the best so far, as far as readability, good teaching techniques, and useful suggestions. It's written simply but effectively, easy to follow and good suggestions. She starts at the most basic level and explains things that those of us who are time-challenged don't naturally understand, such as when you're doing one thing, you're choosing not to do another, or to get somewhere on time, you have to allow travel time, not leave at the time you're supposed to arrive. There are also a number of other entry-level suggestions such as posting your goals where you will see them. I was very impressed with how well she simplified the concepts and built from the fundamental practices which would give immediate benefits for a small investment of effort, to the details that add polish to a life. In every chapter she gave simultaneous illustrations of how to apply the principles to both office and home to get both under control and save time, and covered everyone from mothers overwhelmed with several preschoolers to both male and female executives. I found that it inspired me to get my desk and files in better order, and I'm picking up on several organizing and planning suggestions.
