I got a few new ideas - and tried Audible for the first time
What I liked about this book is that it gave me some new ideas and a fresh angle to view some of my work practices. That made it well worth the read.What I found a little frustrating was the repetition of some of the concepts - not as though for reinforcement alone, but more as though sections were taken from a blog, or articles, and combined to make a book. The majority of the book didn't read this way, but when it did, I found it irritating.Overall, I have no regrets! I can skim redundant info as easily as the next gal, and there's some good stuff in there.As an aside, decided to try Audible for the first time with this book... Cool feature! I didn't know if it would work in the car on my iPad (without wireless), but it did! I'll add that on again!

Excellent book on more efficient life and work.I have read many of this type of book and this one has some of the most easily leveraged information.My email is not overwhelming any more.I actually respond to the ones I want to.My desk is very organized.There are some top level kaizen and lean management ideas that you can add to your everyday work with ease.What can I say, I like it and have implemented most of the strategies.

Very focused toward generic "white collar" jobs, but still helpful
This is a very readable book with many tested ideas about how to increase organization and efficiency, but it is quite narrowly tailored towards "office" jobs. That's fine, but I bought the book looking for more general "life" skills--which are present, but scattered throughout, so I ended up briefly scanning several irrelevant chapters.Still, he has many good ideas and practices, so the book was worthwhile.

Feeling more in control.
Listened to the last edition CD in my car, and had to have a copy for my desk. I haven't read it yet, but it has very good information and I feel it is very good for those who need a clean start on their way to organizing their work life. Lots of great ideas.

This Book Cuts To The Chase
A great cross-industry, cross-activity book. It helps you understand what needs to be done to make your time more productive and less stressful. What's really nice is that it's a time tested method that can help you and the people you work with. Well worth the money.

Timeless principles how to achieve peace of mind at work
Excellent book in regards to basic principles how to live a more productive and stress free life at home and at work. The one minus point is that the book has not been updated since the working environment is constantly changing. But the principles are what the book is about and they are timeless.

BETTER THAN ANY TIME MANAGEMENT BOOK
I am not in an administrative role however I have definitely been challenged in the time management and organisation area of my work and home life. This is the best book I have read yet on the subject and I have been able to utilise a lot of the suggestions to make my life much easier and more balanced.

brilliant
A lot of what this book says is common sense; it does however help you to step back from a chaotic life so that you can reimplement these common sense ideas that help you become more efficient...i.e. writing a 'to do' list :)

Hard to follow
The writing style lacked punch. I would read a page and felt that nothing was left with me. There are better books on the subject.

The Personal Efficiency Program
Algo desfasado no obstante si se siguen los consejos que proporciona para muchos temas, resulta práctico y ameno. Tendrían que dedicar más espacio al tema de las nuevas tecnologías y quitar los ejemplos que ya no aplican.
