When I got the book, I was somewhat sceptical that a book could teach me what I already knew. (Make lists of to-do items etc) But this book is really amazing. It will tell you how you end up wasting time and what to do about it in a positive way. I would like to mention a couple of ideas that I found in this book: a) No matter how silly, do something related to work with a high pay-off. b)Effectiveness (doing the important things) should be preferred over efficiency (Doing something of not much importance very well)...
I read this book every week and have got an additional copy to carry in my bag always to get these excellent ideas entrenched in my head. |

I believe that it is very hard to find a book which is more important than this book. This book is a must for anyone in any field who wants to achieve much more than s/he did before reading it. It may be not but is very close to the bible of time and life management. Being too far away from ideas inside this book, you will be very hard to achieve anything in your life. The time you read it will be paid off several times. Its ideas are worth reviewing several times. |

When Alan Laiken wrote this book in 1973 he created a mechanism for defining your goals that I still use today. The method of asking "Laikens questions" has been a critical part of my personal success. I have given away perhaps 50 copies of the book over the last 25 years. It is timeless classic on career and time management.
I recently reread the book with my daughter who is just getting her career going and found the techniques Laikin created 33 years ago still work for me in retirement. |

Changed my life tremendously... I wish I have read it fifteen years ago. I will not be too far fetched if I recommend this book to be used as a "must read" in colleges. Very easy to understand and right to the point, gives you simple tools to increase your productivity ten-fold, focus on the right goals and kill procrastination.

Alan Lakein's book on time management is one of the fundamentals in this field. Even though I would recommend you to also read at least one other book on time management, this book is as good as it gets. Some of the ideas that are presented here may seem a little extreme, but of course they are only ideas of how to improve the way you manage your time. The fundamental lesson is this: time is a limited resource and we can either waste it, or we can use it in a sensible manner and then enjoy the fact that we have free time on hand. In that logic, the author is presenting time in the same way in which your financial advisor would talk to you about money. It is a limited resource and in order to enjoy as much as possible of it, you need to invest it carefully.
The style of the book is easy. Sometimes, however it is not immediately clear what the author is getting at, but in any case you can read the whole book in a matter of hours. Five stars are awarded to this book, as you'll find it very useful to start off with the concept of time management. It also extremely good value for money! |

This is a great book that leaves you with no excuses about why you are not fulfilling your dreams. Of the many, many self-help books I have read, this seems to be the only book that spoonfeeds you the steps to success. It doesn't tell you what to do to live your dreams. It helps you think of the steps you need to take if you are serious about your dreams.
I recommend it to all people with time management problems, workaholics, or people with dreams. I've bought three copies of that book in two years and recommended it to many more people than that, including to members of an adult ADD support group.
It breaks down our actions, like procastination, down into raw emotions, like fear of imperfeection. Its author's analytical skills are sharp, and penetrate the pages of the book. Pretty soon, you find yourself analyzing things, in attempts to understand what you are doing (or not doing) and what you can do to change that. It's really a wonderful book. |

This book cuts through all the theoritical stuff and provides immediate steps for action. I especially found the sections that explains why we sometimes complete simple routine task instead of tackling the critical A items that really matter. I can't think of anyone in business who will not get dramatic results. Thank you Mr. Lakein! |

I bought this book because Bill Clinton in his biography wrote that this was the only "how to..."-book that he ever read. Usually, I am not into "how to..."-books myself. But I really like Clinton and I thought if it's good enough for him then I will try it out. This book has a lot of really good ideas that can be easily incorporated in your daily routines. I strongly recommend it. |
