Book Review

Time Management: Set Priorities to Get the Right Things Done
By: John Hoover

I borrowed this book from a friend the other day for a quick read while I was on a business trip. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. You’ve always been taught not to judge a book by it’s cover, but when the book looks like this and the pages are color coded how can you not make a snap judgment.

If you are a looking for a good refresher course on time management or small things to improve your daily routine, I would recommend this book. If you are looking for a step by step process, you should look for something with a few more pages(and maybe less color)

The book touches on creating lists, handling email, phone calls, dealing with a boss who is poorly managed, helping your direct report get organized. It doesn’t go into great detail on any of the topics, which can be a good thing because it lets your creative juices flow. The format of the book is really convenient to look up information. The color coded summary at the end of each section make it easy to return to get a quick synopsis of the entire section.

Even with the lack of detailed information, I’ve decided to add it to my collection after returning.
