You can tell from the stories that this book was written many years ago but the message is still very useful. Even following a few of the suggestions put forth by this book could alter your life for the better. I will likely listen to this several times over the next few years to refresh the ideas. Highly recommended.

I have used the Franklin Covey planning methods for years and I found this book to be an excellent resource for refreshing my drive to implement the system daily.

The book focuses on the Time Management Matrix and the Productivity Pyramid. Both of these concepts can be applied to any planning method that you may use. The last fourth of the book is about the Franklin Covey paper planning system, however there are comments mixed in about how to do various functions with other systems or software.

My knowledge and use of Franklin Covey allowed me to enjoy and benefit from the last fourth of the book. People without this knowledge and/or experience may find that part hard to follow, however the real benefit of this book comes from the first three fourths of the book.

I recommend this book to everyone. If you haven't used a planning system or find it hard to follow the last fourth of the book, I would recommend not listening to it. Don't lose sight of the knowledge gained from the first part of the book by being frustrated by the last part.
