Time Management In an Instant: 60 Ways to Make the Most of Your Day (In an Instant (Career Press)) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This one was a mixed bag. On the one hand, a lot of tips brought together in one place; on the other, deeper concepts are not necessarily given the depth or context they're due if one is to really internalize them and change habits.
I wouldn't recommend it to someone who hasn't read Getting Things Done and some of the other most popular time management books - to whom these authors owe a debt of gratitude - but if you know enough to see who they're paraphrasing it's a useful aggregation of ideas. One particularly bad thing is that they did not include a bibliography pointing to those other sources. Some were cited in the text, but haphazardly (e.g. no mention of David Allen's Getting Things Done in tip 19 "Capture Your Open Items" which is practically an abstract of a chapter of his book).
