A phenomenal and unique quick read!
The book starts with what seems to be an impossible amount of things that the author accomplishes in a day. This is not in a bragging tone. It simply is to show how much a person can get done in a day if someone really wants to, and if they learn some strategies and then practice them until they find what works for them.Next he explains the beliefs he holds (or philosophy) that have helped him accomplish so much. And he encourages and teaches how to find your true motivation, before he even talks about any time management tips. Those 2 chapters are some of the best I've ever read in any professional development books!!He then goes onto share some of the best time management strategies. Some I've heard of and some I hadn't. Either way, I found them to be very good. I really liked how each chapter is very well written but it's also straight to the point. It's not filled with a bunch of fluff or repetition. He uses good personal examples, to prompt the reader to think creatively of ideas they hadn't thought of before.Lastly, I love how he shows options to try and experiment with. Not just 1 system to follow. I highly recommend this book!

WOW!!!
WOW! To be honest, this book totally exceeded my expectations! I thought that this book would just provide me with many tips that I already know of regarding time management, but this book really changed my life! I have found the different steps in this book supremely helpful and I will definitely read this book many more times, to let the content of the book sink in deeper and apply the steps in more and more ways. I have found it so helpful to hear how I can so easily transform my life, by starting with small habits, that only take 10 minutes a day! This makes total sense to me because I can see so clearly how I was always successful in my life when I applied something on a consistent basis.So the principles of this book were already working in my life even before I read it! I just could not identify them! But now that I know these principles I can apply them to absolutely everything! I am so grateful for this book, really! It has made my life a lot easier, richer and more meaningful. Thank you so much for writing it Michael Stawicki!

Let me jump straight in to my reviews about this ...
Let me jump straight in to my reviews about this book. I unearthed couple of pearls scattered across. After reading the whole book in one sitting, i picked two chapters from this book for action. Chap8. Break it down and Chap12. Sand Grains Method. It was revelation. The author has suggested an app for breaking the task down in to details and working on them to increase the completion by 10 fold. Indeed, this did increased by task completion. Earlier, I used to struggle and stare at my to-do list wondering why isn't I am not able to finish. I had difficulties in visualizing the task and breaking down in to very minor parts which are do-able. Now i picked up the app, start converting my action items in to various sub-tasks. Now I have something to play with for the task completion. For this suggestion alone, the book is worth its money.

Concise, relatable, easy to follow.
I have attempted to read and have read a few time management books. This guve some easy-to-use strategies some I have already started but after reading this book I realize I need to work on replacing unproductive down time with something more meaningful at work and in my personal life.

Perfect short read with tons of great ideas!
Not sure why people keep saying that its same old stuff? Seems like there’s nothing much for them to learn when the ‘same old stuff’ didn’t work.If you want a quick read to start to learn about time management, this is the book to go with! Author explain several methods and books in this short book; if you like a certain method you can buy that book to dive deeper into this subject.Love his great examples and author’s rouinte. This guy is a robot! lol. Thanks Michal!

Contains Truths I Had Not Found in Other Books of its Kind
I gave Michal Stawicki's book five stars because it accomplished its goal: to help me master my time in ten-minute chunks.SO many self-help and time management books cover the same tips over and over... and that's to be expected because truth is truth. There are only so many universal truths that apply to everyone.But Michal's book was different. He challenged some of the parroted techniques and praised others, but mainly encouraged me to find my OWN methods for making the most of my time.My takeaways were numerous but the most valuable to me was the idea of committing to establishing ONE ten-minute daily habit at a time, then leveraging my willpower by starting another when the first habit becomes so entrenched that it doesn't need "willpower" to reinforce it.Also, the "grains of sand" idea was magnificent; a prepared list of activities that support one's life mission but can be accomplished in ten minutes or less. I've already begun to salt and pepper ten-minute "productivity moments" into my day, starting with Michal's and my shared love of pushups.Give this book a read if you are like me; an intellectual suffering from information overload. Michal Sta will help you focus. Instead of killing time you'll work it to death :-)Keep Stepping,Kurt (my wife Sabrina bought me my Kindle so it's her name at the top)

helpful & easy to read
The author applied his concepts of time management to the format of this book. The chapters were short because he went straight to the point and stated things clearly in a concise manner. He gave specific examples that are helpful. I plan to incorporate his strategies into my current time management system and I look forward to being more effective.
