My Review:

This is an interesting and readable book about discovering how to best make your time work for you.  I won’t go into all the details that the author has included to help us each discover our own personal productive “time zones” during the day, but it seems to make sense.  I liked her use of personal illustrations as to how she’s succeeded and failed at organization In her own life.  She emphasizes the importance of living a balanced life in all areas of our lives, including our health and the organization of the the “stuff” we all have accumulated in our homes. There are also sections about determining priorities and how those change in different stages of our lives. There’s good advice in every chapter that can easily be implemented, and that makes this book worth reading.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
