All common sense and repetitive. Very dissapointed.

As a serial procrastinater I bought this book hoping for some fresh ideas and insight on how to gain motivation. Instead it seems like the author himself has procrastinated, and failed to sit down and write a decent book. The book is very short, some "chapters" are only a couple of pages long. The actual tips are very common sense, certainly not worth buying the book for. Basically consists of telling the reader to make lists and do the most important things first. Thats it, the whole book revolves around those two points, nothing else that is constructive.
I was really hoping on something more indepth. I wouldn't recommend buying this book.

21 Little Gems
|
A summary of simple and easy steps to boost your productivity in a slim, easily read book that's suitable for even the most time pressured of people. With plenty of tips and ideas that you can dip in and out of when you need it, to help deal with the habit of putting things off. It's on my recommended reading list for clients and is a great addition to any busy person's bookshelf.
You can't even make the excuse that you don't have time to read it, each chapter is only a few pages long with a handy summary/action section after each one.

absolutely mind altering
|
Ok, so my title might sound a bit over the top... That being said, the simple way the information in this book is made available to you, the reader, is absolutely fantastic. I have always found it silly to use acronyms or sayings from 'improve yourself' kinda books, but the almost silly frog references in this book stay in your mind. I use them myself daily when i try to put off things i should get done, and they work!!
I have to give this book my warmest recommendations! thanks!!

Condensed Version Of Previous Work..

As my title suggests, this particular book would be a condensation of other books pertaining to time keeping which Brian Tracy has written and recorded. And it's for this reason that it is essentially all that your require to manage your time. However, because it is so short, there is a temptation to delve further into his other works. But in my opinion there is no great need too. But if you must this is a great place to start.. It's cloncise, informative and makes you think. Which is remarkable for such a small book. I've read books by different authours ten times as big, and they are boring and convuluted. This is simple and to the point. Inspiring really..

One big, fat, ugly frog to go, please!

This is a very straight to the point book. If you want a more in depth study of procrastination, please read The Now Habit by Fiore (as a matter of fact, read it anyway...). This book is the "just do it, swallow the frog approach". This can leave some feeling off balance, to be sure, but, as I see from most of the reviews, this book is perfect for the person who just wants a very sound framework from which to get started. Well worth the money and might very well end up being on my bookshelf permanently along with all my other "classics".
