Good little book. This was actually a lecture that he summarized in a book. Most how-to/time management books are thick, you must invest a lot of reading time to get a small amount of actual knowledge out of them. Randy's book is short, to the point, and helpful. The most important tip to take away from it is a matrix TO DO list. Focus on the important things, don't drown in the every-day little things. Good little book.

This book is short and sweet. It helped me once I realized it was pulled from a lecture he gave (so I was reading it expecting spoken language, rather than written language). Good points and good reminders about how to value your own time. It's a short and sweet book (took me about 45 minutes total). This book is short and sweet.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Some notes taken when reading this book: Don’t focus on doing things right, but do the right things adequately; Have a clean desk - only have one sheet of paper at one time (me and my paper) 80 - 20 percent rule; 80 percent of the value comes from 20 percent of your time; Failing to plan is planning to fail; Four quadrants of to-do lists (important vs. due soon); Start working on the important and due soon quadrant. Write thank-you notes for people when you appreciate them for doing something nice for Some notes taken when reading this book: Don’t focus on doing things right, but do the right things adequately; Have a clean desk - only have one sheet of paper at one time (me and my paper) 80 - 20 percent rule; 80 percent of the value comes from 20 percent of your time; Failing to plan is planning to fail; Four quadrants of to-do lists (important vs. due soon); Start working on the important and due soon quadrant. Write thank-you notes for people when you appreciate them for doing something nice for you; Say No to unimportant things - you make the time for important things, not find the time. Schedule creative time and defend it ruthlessly. Also schedule your dead time, when you don’t have to be 100% percent at your best; Reduce interruptions - when you’re writing software, 1 interruption takse 5-6 minutes, and 3-4 minutes to get your head back to the work; Time journal - write down what you did everyday. The goal, the questions, and the progress you’ve made that day. Technology really has to be something that makes your life better.

Usually I don't read books about time management, and frankly, this book didn't offer any new insights to me. But this isn't about whether this book helped me, but whether or not I recommend it. I do and that's because of one simple reason: this book is short while still offering a ton of advice that might be helpful.

Absolutely recommended talk which every human who values her/his own time must watch. Very relevant and pragmatic to any kind of workplace in today's world. While you're at it, please do me a favor and read Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture" to better appreciate his genius.

Weber doesn't have this one. I'm putting it on this list so I can hopefully remember it one day. Yeah right! If I need a time management book do you really think I'm going to remember to read it?

I watched the lecture that this apparently is a transcript of. The way he simply explained things and showed how they work for him impressed me.
