Quite useful introduction to time management
First, you should know that this is both an introduction to time management and a very general book on this theme. Therefore you should look elsewhere for specifics if that's what you're out for. The book is heavily geared towards managing time in an office environment, particularly managing time as a leader, executive or manager. If you're looking for general principles outside of the office location, you may want to look elsewhere.

The book is easily understandable and written in a clear and precise manner. At times I find myself disagreeing with the author about certain points, though. I particularly disagree with some of the value statements presented between the lines, so to speak. As goes general principles of time management you could do worse.
