"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."

    " 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.!

    " 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! "
