Time Management is an Oxymoron Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you know nothing about time management and have absolutely no control over your life, then this book is a great start. However, if you've been in the working world and had to make deadlines, you already know everything here.
I didn't find anything new in the book. These are the same techniques presented in virtually every beginner time-management book or course. The only thing clever here is the book's name. There's nothing wrong with the techniques (other than it is extremely basic), I just found the title misleading. It and the associated reviews imply that the author has found some sort of amazing new solution to time management. Nothing is new -- it's simply recycled.
The flow of the book is a "conversation" between the author and a hypothetical client. Personally, I found this annoying. What could be said in one paragraph spans an entire chapter as the author and his client read their respective dialog. This format has the advantage of increasing the number of pages, but doesn't add content.
I would suggest reading "The 7-Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R. Covey. Instead of spending time on how to set up a 31-day filing cabinet, Covey focuses on what consumes time, how to prioritize it and what to forgo.
Another route is to attend a local Time Management class. It might cost a few dollars more, but it will likely cover much a greater span of material (including the Covey's 7-Habits) and you'll benefit from the interaction with a live instructor.
