Supremely Practical November 12, 2008
Over the years, I have benefited a lot from productivity books, organization books, time management books. Each of them contained a few helpful techniques I was able to put into practice. Here's a volume, though, that is quite different. It's a workbook: it's made to mark-up and write in. It includes the whole range of things an efficient manager or any self-motivated worker should be doing. And it covers it all in a workable, down-to-earth, very readable fashion.
It's not just a book to read. It is a big (200+ pages) compendium of ideas, lists, quizzes, worksheets--a whole collection of absolutely practical material! And because it's just out, all its suggestions for using technology are right up-to-date. How to best handle the mountains of e-mail, how to make the phone your helper and not your enemy, strategies for backing-up your data--all these are covered in great fashion.
Need help with goal setting? Go to Day 2. Need to simplify your piles of paperwork? Check out Day 7. Having trouble with interruptions? That's in Day 10. Mired down with meetings? Day 13. Wondering if you could ever possibly get some balance in your life? It's Day 14.
This is anything but some boring textbook. It's a great read! It's interesting and supremely practical. If you want to stop wasting your time (and others' time, too), here's the one book to get. You'll be less stressed and way more productive.

Great step-by-step resource October 24, 2008
I was really pleased with the level of detail and great volume of ideas and information in this book. I decided to take it at face value and actually work my way through the book in 14 days. By the third day, I was already taking steps at work to be more productive; by the end of two weeks, I actually had co-workers asking me what was going on, my work habits were that noticeably improved. I definitely recommend this for those who are feeling overloaded and stressed out, particularly those who may already have decent habits, like list-making and prioritizing, but who want or need some even more specific guidance to take their organization and time management to whole new levels.
