"Great book for those needing an extra sum of time! Reading it made me aware of how much time I waste and where my efficiency can improve. Now if only I can get off my butt and implement it!! Haha! Give me some slack-I just had a a baby! I actually was given this book in a seminar for my music education business and I honestly feel that I can juggle classes, family, homeschooling, and church service callings and still plan time to have fun! The great insights in this book."

— Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One-Minute Manager and Leadership by the Book“If I had had Julie Morgenstern’s tips on how to organize my workload and prioritize my days, balancing my growing business and family life would have been much easier.”
— Lilian Vernon, chairman and CEO, Lilian Vernon Corporation" Pretty basic common sense stuff. But I feel I gained some info I can implement I read her organizing book years ago and although at the time I didn't think I learned much from it. I find myself still remembering some little things that I learned that I think I would still be clueless about if I had not read the book. I hope this book will have the same effect over the years.! "
— Tammie, 2/14/2014" I'd have to say that this book was definitely worth the read because I've already saved as much time as it took me to read it. Plus, I've already said NO to two unreasonable requests, so it's a keeper. "
— Rachelterry, 2/9/2014" A practical book using a model similar to the author's book on organizing. I prefer Getting Things Done but believe this book has things to say. "
— Jay, 2/8/2014" A must re-read for later on this year! "
— Shanali, 2/7/2014" A lot of very helpful ideas, but geared mostly toward someone who works outside of home. I'd like to be able to say that it changed my life and my ability to manage time... but can't. That's not necessarily a commentary on the author but probably on this reader! "
— Carol, 2/5/2014" This book had a lot of great time-management ideas--everything from aligning your activities with your "big-picture" goals to dealing with common time-management problems, like interruptions, procrastination, etc. Helpful advice. "
— Mnmstaten, 2/3/2014" Very practical advice and really gets into the deeper questions of what you what to do with time and setting priorities! "
— Alison, 1/29/2014" This book gave was suggested to me by a business mentor and did have some great hints that have transformed my previous organizational system (which was basically nothing!). However, the first 2/3 of the book were pretty unnecessary to me and it felt long and drawn out. I would say it was worth reading for the few things I took away from it though. I might skim the book and read the things I thought were most important, but I wouldn't read it cover to cover again unless I was really desperate for reading material! "
— Rachel, 1/26/2014" Was happy to see her book in the Franklin Covey store. Although there were some dry reading areas, overall it was beneficial reading. "
— Rachel, 1/22/2014" I haven't found the time to finish it! "
— Julie, 1/14/2014" This book had some useful ideas, especially the alternatives to time maps for people who don't like strict schedules. "
— Nupur, 1/12/2014" I got stuck on creating the ideal schedule and current schedule because my schedule was different week to week. I got stuck in perfectism. "
— Lily, 1/8/2014" A helpful book with lots of little bits of good advice. Morgenstern, by the way, is one of the top time-management gurus, if that impresses you. "
— Brent, 1/3/2014" I read an earlier edition of this book, but it's probably almost the same. Good tips for busy workers. Reread 10/19/04. "
— Reuel, 12/27/2013" Clear, simple, straightforward, useful. A quick and practical book that's worth the time. "
— Corinne, 12/20/2013" Man oh man, do I ever need this! "
— Carol, 12/9/2013" I haven't found the time to finish it! "
— Julie, 12/1/2013" Actually I watched the DVD version. It was interesting, although I admit that I was pretty tired the night I watched it and fell asleep between tools 4 and 7! Still, some good tips. "
— Diane, 11/23/2013" Very practical advice and really gets into the deeper questions of what you what to do with time and setting priorities! "
— Alison, 11/10/2013" So far, so good. My work days are back down to normal hours, I'm organized in the office, less stressed and feeling so much better. I recommned this book to anyone who finds themselves constantly multi-tasking and at the end of the day you realize you didn't get anyting done at all. "
— Melly, 11/5/2013" Good for most people. I was kind of disappointed as I already knew most of the information from a time management class I scheduled for my employees. "
— Sonya, 10/31/2013" A bit dated now, but the principles are still good, and I remember loving Organizing from the Inside Out: The Foolproof System For Organizing Your Home, Your Office and Your Life which made me wonder why I never read this one back then! "
— Deyara, 10/28/2013" I'd have to say that this book was definitely worth the read because I've already saved as much time as it took me to read it. Plus, I've already said NO to two unreasonable requests, so it's a keeper. "

— Natalie, 9/17/2013" I re-read this pretty much every year, and this book, along with David Allen's GTD book, are my time management bibles. There's some great stuff here. "
— Meredith, 7/13/2013" If you need to read something about time management this is your place to go. I used this as a basis for a class I taught on prioritizing your life and creating goals. I like her holisitic approach and the way she allowed this to mold to anyones life/schedule. "
— Bridget, 6/27/2013" I can't quite find the time to finish this... "

— Pam, 5/3/2012" The section on PDAs is a little dated (as it is always doomed to be), but the book as a whole is written in a slow, easy-to-digest cadence, with at least a dozen golden takeaways for how to better manage your time. Especially for the self-employed (me), highly recommended. "
— Trevor, 2/23/2012" Very handy way to force yourself to do items. And/or find out where your time is going. Heh. "
