    One Stop Book for Time Management
  

*by E***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2024*

The first secret #1: Time is your most valuable and scarcest resource.By acknowledging this, we can start to count down the minutes from the moment we wake up. Every minute counts when you are spending time every hour of the day.Secret #2: Identify Your Most Important Task and then work on it first thing before anything else.It’s about focusing on your priority tasks, your MITs. As Kevin states, this is a key task-based action plan for defining what is the most important thing, and then getting into it first thing in the morning.Secret #3: Work from your computer and not a To-Do-List -- Schedule your important tasks using time blocks. You should schedule important items as early in the day as possible.Secret #4: Procrastination can be beaten when you figure out how to beat your future self.This chapter delivers great content. Why do we procrastinate? We are fixated on doing things in the future that never get done. By focusing on our present self, we can make choices in the present moment that impacts our future. As Kevin points out, procrastination isn’t about laziness. It is about underestimating the power of the present moment emotions vs. the future emotions.Secret #5: Accept the fact there will always be more work to do and more that can be done.So the concept in this chapter is simple. Leave work at 5pm every day. You can work harder but there is always more to do and there will always be something that needs doing.Secret #6: Always Carry a Notebook.This chapter talks about the importance of writing down everything in a notebook. This concept isn’t anything knew but, writing ideas down solidifies them in the mind. It makes them more real. Thomas Edison, George Lucas and John Rockefeller all had notebooks where they kept everything.Secret #7: Email is a great way for other people to put their priorities into your life.The 321 system is amazing. This chapter is critical in saving time and giving you back a large part of the day that is otherwise wasted. How much time do we spend on email [reading, writing and sending] a day? How about 2.5 hours. That is a lot of time. By getting your email inbox to zero, you can stop wasting time going through email that is redundant.Secret #8: Schedule and attend meetings as a last resort.Who doesn’t love [hate] meetings? This chapter gets down to truth about how so much of our time is wasted on useless meeting time and just filling in the day with meetings because that is what we are supposed to do in companies. Here we get good strategies on eliminating the unnecessary meetings, or at the very least, shortening them.Secret #9: This is all about knowing [and learning] to say NO to most of the things that occupy your time. If it doesn’t support your goals, say NO and move on. I love this concept.Secret #10: The Powerful Pareto principal. For anyone who is into Time Management this is a principle that cannot be ignored. The author does a great job of showing us how to apply the 80/20 rule to our lifestyle and business. This chapter has other great takeaways such as:• Develop your skills to be exceptional in a few areas• Do the most important things exceptionally well• You can work less, stress less and enjoy more happiness by figuring out the 20% of things that are most important to you.Secret #11: the 3 Harvard Questions that Save 8 Hours a Week: In this chapter you can outsource the work you don’t have to do and save time by delegating what you can.Secret #12: Why Twitter Co-Founder Jack Dorsey Themes His days. This is a great idea…theme your days to target a specific area of your business. The author provides great examples from John Lee Dumas and Dan Sullivan.Secret #13: Don’t Touch [Until You’re Ready]. When sorting out email or papers, the golden rule is, touch it once. If it needs to be touched more than that you are wasting time. Either take action on it, file it or throw it away.Secret #14 is waking up early and getting a kick-start in your day by drinking water, doing exercise or reciting incantations. Kevin uses several key examples from Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tim Ferris, Anthony Robbins and John Lee Dumos. This is definitely my favourite technique in the book. Waking up early and taking action gives you the best use of your time and clears your mind for the rest of the day.The last time management principle, that isn’t really about time management at all, is boosting your energy so you feel better and you can accomplish more in the same amount of time. The book wraps up nicely with 20 additional time saving techniques and strategies.Getting Down To the Nitty-Gritty on this book:There are a lot of great time saving concepts in this book. Kevin Kruse does a great job at delivering the content in a simple approach that you can put these strategies into practice right away. I especially love his approach to the “1440” method that reminds us we have only 1440 minutes a day.You could read this book in less time than that and start to save time while feeling great about the extra energy and motivation. Well-written and an excellent resource for getting more out of your day and your life, check it out and stop wasting time…and your life.One last thing is, this book comes with a set of fantastic resources for readers to download with convenient links at the end of each chapter as reminders. I love the FREE resources provided.

    Quick and to the Point
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2017*

Quick to read and to the point, this book is full of easy-to-follow advice for time management. It is a combination of the author's own advice, with brief advice and quotes from billionaires, entrepreneurs, Olympic athletes, and straight-A students. Some are the result of the author's own research and enquiries; some he just seems to have borrowed. Still, he does a good job organizing it and making it readable. He also offers a set of mostly memorable time management quotes, although some of them are repeats that he has quoted earlier in the book. He also provides chapters at the end of the book that sum up (i.e., repeat) the advice from the billionaires, athletes, etc. All in all, there is quit a lot of padding to get the book to a minimum book length. Also, widely spaced typography!Still, I recommend this book highly. A time management book shouldn't take a long time to read. It should get to the point--and this one does.My biggest takeaway is a simple one: don't add your tasks to a to-do list; schedule them on your calendar. That simple act causes you to make a commitment and keep things real, rather than having a lot of tasks on your list that get pushed back day after day, month after month.Some of the advice, such as taking lots of handwritten notes, I was already doing, and I can confirm its value.The author offers additional content online, which is helpful, but mainly designed to get you on his mailing list. How ironic that one piece of his advice is to unsubscribe from as many mailing lists as possible!

    A must-read book on time management in today's busy world!
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2015*

This book promises to teach us the best tips on time management from some of the most successful people in the world and it does so perfectly! It's packed with valuable information that is easy to apply right away.The tone of the book is humorous and easy to relate to, I enjoyed reading about the author’s personal experiences and found out I am experiencing much of the same.The book is very well structured; in each chapter the author:- explains the different circumstances we are faced with in today’s busy world- offers a solution that we can implement in our lives effortlessly- relates quotes from the successful people he has interviewed for this book- explains in specifics how the information applies to entrepreneurs, executives, freelancers, students, and stay at home parents- provides a free bonus.In the second part of the book, the author has designed a “Time Secrets” section where the successful people he has interviewed describe their experience and best tips on time management.I genuinely enjoyed reading each chapter, but my favorite chapter is “One Little Word That Multiplies Success.” We’ve all inadvertently been taught to become people pleasers and many of us now have serious problems saying “No.” It’s time to learn to think more before saying “Yes” because saying “Yes” to something means we are saying “No” to something else. As the author clearly explains, we shouldn’t go into the other extreme and say “No” to everything. The point is to learn to set our priorities straight and make sincere decisions that will turn out most beneficial to all parties involves rather than halfheartedly say “Yes” as to not upset others.I’ve started implementing the solutions offered in this book as soon as I began reading it and I am seeing amazing results: dealing with my emails, time blocking, keeping a journal, focusing on the 20% of my activities that ensure 80% of my results.Very well written, informative, especially useful in our busy lives today, I am highly recommending this book on time management. Whatever you are doing, whether you are a student, freelancer, entrepreneur, executive, stay-at-home parent, this book is for you! Enjoy applying it and getting more stuff done, in half the time or less, reducing stress in your life and increasing your overall happiness.
