Customer Reviews

Helpful but flawed
Julie Morgenstern's "inside-out" approach recognises that different techniques work for different people and that any time management plan must be built around you. So far, so good, and the book does offer some solid advice on how to develop your own workable routine.

But, while the book's programme is built round the individual, it is also regimented, to an extent which many would find uncomfortable. There is surprisingly little material on how to stick to your time plan, or indeed on alternative techniques if a strictly planned schedule isn't for you.

There are interesting and helpful sections of time-saving tips for everyday life and a very complete chapter on choosing a personal organizer. So overall, you can expect to pick up some useful advice from the book, but it doesn't quite live up to its promise of finding a system that's just right for you.

A bit disappointing
I was a bit disappointed in this book as I did not think it really contained any new ideas on time management whereas her other book Organising from the inside out was a great book. Also this book, sorry to say it, was a bit boring and dry. I enjoyed a book by Mark Forster called Get Everything Done and Still Have Time to Play much better. Mark Forster's book was full of new ideas and was very readable and interesting.

A Timely Title
Morgenstern takes a very reassuring approach, convincing even the most undisciplined that there is hope - by working with, not against your own personality traits.

A very affirming, positive book.
