About Time
Yes, it's about time for a book such as this to address the issues of information overload and all the other mental clutter that fills up our time. It's time to get back to the simple life (relatively speaking) and say no to so many things that rob us of our time.

This book has also helped me realize that that there is a definite link between time management and finances. I always thought I was organized but I never realized how I make many costly mistakes by not managing my time wisely. ... Read more

Customizes Itself to You
One of the things I really appreciate about Gary Kroehnert's "Taming Time, or, How Do You Eat an Elephant?" is that you write in it. Lots. It starts on page 9, where you write down what you hope to do as a result of what you learn from his book. By answering his well-constructed, thought-provoking questions in writing, you think critically about how you manage your time--and find ways to improve. This book is not about theory and advice. Each page is geared toward the content that is most relevant to you, then applying it to your life.

Kroehnert successfully balances work and non-work time management, leading you through planning and prioritizing, using planning calendars effectively, and battling six time-wasters. (Those issues are real-world: phone calls, meetings, procrastination, delegation, office organization, and visitors.) The 50-tip summary starting on page 171 is especially helpful.

Readers should know that Kroehner's examples use the Day-Timer system. They should also know that the techniques he demonstrates using Day-Timer will transfer very well to any portable calendar system, with the possible exception of the newer personal digital assistants.

Overall, this book is well worth the investment--if you use it. ... Read more
