Crazybusy: Overstretched, Overbooked, and About to Snap! Strategies for Handling Your Fast-Paced Life Audiobook

" I guess I am too busy to read this. Got a couple chapters in, but ironically kept skimming because I was too busy. Maybe another time. "

" This book was a waste of my very precious time. "

" Some good tips on how to manage time, but it's unlikely that I will do the full-scale evaluation of time spent like Hallowell suggests. I guess if I get that desperate, I may, but for now, I've got a few take-always that make this a worthwhile read. "

" Very good book and helps put our crazy lives in perspective. Definitely worth reading "

" Good reminder to slow down and take a breath once in a while. "

" After suffering through more than 3/4 of this book, I just couldn't take it any more. There isn't an original idea to be found and the author's writing style is unbelievably annoying. Personally, I found CrazyBusy to be a total waste of time and money. "

" "Overstretched, Overbooked, and About to Snap" An honest view of our maxed-out lives and some strategies for taking time back, slowing down, and recognizing the pros and cons of our new connectedness and technology. "

" Great book with some very interesting insights into the "modern world". I was expecting a more precise road map for how to approach structure & focus but I realized at the end that the generalities presented were exactly what the "Doctor ordered". "

" Mostly disappointing. I went into it sold on the premise that the constant distractions of today's society can create ADD-like symptoms, but the book did not provide much new information. Granted, the book's layout did not translate well to audio: too many lists. I was just hoping for more. "

" OK. I learned some productivity tips for minimizing electronic distractions. I found the made up words distracting though. "

" Though it did not exactly instill great new habits in me for productivity, it did reassure me that I wasn't the only one who felt this way and that I'm not actually crazy; it's this world that's crazy and you have to recognize that before you can deal with it in a healthy way. "

" Solid on observations about the modern world, short on practical solutions. Primarily a stop-and-smell-the-roses kind of thing. "

" I read this for fun. It's not a Christian book, but it has clever insights into the fast-paced world in which we live. "

" another one of the three books that i have bedside. a must read for anyone living in the West. i also read this book while touring Japan. completely changed my living behavior. "

" I found this book very helpful. I am full of energy and enthusiasm and this book helped me take a balanced look at my life. It gave me strategies to avoid over doing. "

" This is the best book I've read explaining how we got ourselves into this mess we are in--overbooked and driving ourselves and our children crazy. It's not preachy, doesn't condemn all our activitiy, just makes us think about HOW we are using our time, and what we are actually getting out of it. "

" This book really opened my eyes to a new way of thinking. I found myself thinking, "Oh maybe it is me that needs to change and not my husband!"=) Highly recommended for anyone who wants to find a way to slow down in this crazy busy world. "

" There were some interesting details and a great chart on determining the worth of time spent on every activity. The downside though was that there were many example stories that were just redundant and unneeded, not to mention boring. "

" Any book addressing the issue of overloaded modern lives ought to be far shorter and far less self-congratulatory. "

" A great book to help one re-examine the pace and priorities of life! "

" This was a really good book. It has a lot of great information about how to not feel so overwhelmed with being busy in every part of your daily life! I recommend that everyone should read this book!! It's beneficial to everyone, no matter what you do in your life! "

" Great content, a good read, but the book didn't meet my expectations. "
