As my wife will vouch, my time management skills are appalling! We have just had a few days overseas which has allowed me to read a good chunk of the book (wouldn't have had time otherwise!). And already I can see where I waste so much time, in particular doing jobs that can wait and are not important and in not doing jobs because I don't want too but would be far more productive.
I can't wait to start applying some of Clare's suggestions and reap the rewards of saved time and put them to better use in building my business.
Generally I am not an avid book reader but I have to say the book is easy to read as it is written in bite size chunks and is very easily digestible.
If you don't have enough time on your hands, read this book, you soon will have!

I've been looking forward to this book for ages - I'm a HUGE fan of the Dummies books, and my time management skills are lower than the lowest of the low.
I read this book from cover to cover, although Clare stresses that you don't have to, and it didn't disappoint.
Some great advice and tips, and thankfully not just the usual tips you find elsewhere - I found this book truly helpful and it made me rethink a lot of the ideas I had around time management.
I'd highly recommend it to anyone wondering how to make an extra hour in their day - with the tips Clare has given, and a bit of common sense and motivation, I'm looking forward to an extra hour a day with my family!

This is quite possibly the best and most useful book on time management I have ever read.
As a typical stressed and hard working business owner, I am always looking for ways to become more productive, efficient and focused.
Within the first few pages of this book I picked up several nuggets of valuable knowledge and when I finished reading the book I felt in a strong position to put Clare's advice into action.
If you are a time management novice or you have read tons of books on time management already, buy a a copy of Time Management for Dummies and you will achieve a massive improvement in your ability to better manage your time.

Easy to 'dip-in' to
I've read other 'time management' books, this is lighter in tone.

You're just 'avoiding'!
You know all the advice in this book already. Save the reading time and just get on and do the things that need doing. (Or, make the To-do list first and THEN do it!)
