This book is a quick and easy read. It is thought-provoking because the author addresses the issues of procrastination and time management from a different perspective than most time-management books. Very enlightening. ( )

I found this to be an excellent book. I enjoyed the work sheet questions at the end of each chapter and found some of the the methods to be helpful. Although even though I've finished reading the book I haven't quite gotten around to answering all the assignments and implementing all the methods. In theory I think they'll work well, it's just a matter of putting them in action. The book was written in a conversational tone and was a joy to read. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
To my husband, best friend, and favorite traveling companion, Bruce Karder, and to the shining delights of our lives, our blended family of five kids and four kids-in-law who give us so much joy in so many ways, including blessing us with seven glorious grandchildren (who are also smart, talented, gorgeous, and more, but I don't want to brag). Thank you, God.
