Summary: Easy read but you will need to dig deeper
Comment: This book is some type of a summery of other time management books.
if you do not like to read long books or do not have the time to you may consider reading this book you will get a lot of good tips here and the author is providing references to other books for more research .
I feel that "lack of detail" is the main issue with this book other than this it is a good book.

Summary: Simplicity At It's Best!
Comment: In a word, simple. After all, in the end, when you've really nailed down the things that work-the things that make the biggest difference- it's often the most simple methods in existence, thus making them easy to overlook. Don't overlook this book. You'll be rewarded in many different ways when you apply what you'll find inside!

Summary: Unless you truly are desperate, this is not a book to spend money on
Comment:
Twenty-five best time management tools and techniques? I'd say there are about four here. Number 17, for example is about a half-page: "Take risks." Thanks, very informative.
Another of my "favorites" is # 19: "Hold Better Meetings", where it advises you on the first of the two pages (well not quite two pages) to "hold meetings in atypical places...at a local low-key restaurant." Then two bullets later it advises not to serve food because "it adds unneeded cost, calories and distraction."
I would say that if tips like "follow up on outstanding items" are eye-opening to you, and this is the only book you can buy, then it's OK to let money go for it. Otherwise, I would suggest David Allen's "Getting Things Done", or Alec MacKenzie's "The Time Trap".

Summary: Simplicity makes it perfect!
Comment: It is very simple guide that covers almost all critical time management tools and techniques. The level of simplicity shows that the writers are great masterminds of the subject. No doubt it took so much research, analysis and effort to write such a nice material loaded with many useful tips and advices. The writers say they had read 20 books on the subject and selected them on the basis of reviews written at Amazon (yeah they do care about what we think) !
I was tired of reading "well-known but dull books" written on the subject of the time management. Most of their writers tell "DO IT ON MY WAY" but this book tells "DO IT ON YOUR OWN WAY. It is a sincere, easy to read book.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives :) It could be your long expected missing time management book...
It is a good guide that deserves a big praise!
