Product Description
Don't Count Time, Make Time Count!
Tick ... tick ... tick ... can't find enough time? Find out how to use it far more wisely by the man who successfully run multiple business ventures simultaneously. Dan Kennedy has been called the "Professor of Harsh Reality" because he doesn't deal in glib, pabulum solutions and eye-rolling cliches you've heard incessantly on time management.
He takes on the world of cell phones, PDAs, faxes, e-mails, and every other communication device that pervade our lives, suggesting when to tap it, and when to give it the heave-ho. This entrepreneur/consultant/author/speaker has a whirlwind business life, yet manages to fit everything in using a handful of home-brewed time management tools he swears by.
He shows how to maximize your time with a fresh take on the mantra that "time is money." It's all about using disciplined productivity strategies Kennedy has devised over 30 years of managing highly-profitable businesses with only minimal help.
Who is Dan Kennedy?
His business adventures have included ownership of six businesses. He appeared for nine consecutive years on THE #1 seminar tour in America sharing the platform with former U.S. President Reagan, Ford, and Bush, General Colin Powell, and business leaders such as Debbi Fields and Jim McCann. He was been in trenches and survived. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Format:Paperback
This was most disappointing. I bought 4 time management titles at the same time and this was the worst by a long way. It contains very little of practical substance and is mostly tired and obvious platitudes interspersed with tedious examples of some pretty gullible-sounding people, including the author. We have to wait until page 120 for the revelation that "there will always be more things to do than the time available to do them" - imagine what the previous 119 pages are like! My copy of this book is going on the compost heap along with all the other "BS".

This is without a doubt one of the best "management" books, I have ever read, and I have read quite a few over the years. This one contains some excellent advice about how to avoid time wasters, "vampires", and how to really get things done. The style is easy to read, funny and practical. I learned more from this book than I did from days of courses. I re-read it almost every year and I have given it to many other people. Buy it, read it and most importantly, use this advice. You will get more out of your time at work and, most probably, your whole life.

This is another of those self help books/schemes that follow the snake oil formula: This works for me, look! I'm rich, I'm successful, my method makes my life better!
"what is your method?"
"let me tell you how brilliantly my method works!"
"Yeah, but what is it"
"Buy my book and I'll tell you"
Well, it's full of nothing. Like the other review says, 120 pages before you are given any insight. The rest is just name dropping and puffing up of the author's ego. I read this along with 2 other time management books that reviewers on Amazon seemed to like, and both were much much better: Do It Tomorrow, and Getting Things Done.
Give this a wide berth.
