I didn't like this book. I read it as an 18 year old medical student. I had so much on my plate at the time, that going by the title, i expected it to make my life easier.
Wrong! It appears to be (on the surface) a book on efficiency (which is what i read it for). I was desperately looking for short term, rapid solutions to my problems.
This book made me trawl through 400 pages of disjointed, badly written pseudo-science, philosophy & religion. Far from meeting my needs... it was positively misleading. It did not do, what it said on the cover. It ought to be reported to trading standards, for false advertising.
It should not be recommended to young people, who require 'substance', and help, at trying times in their lives.
The book, is a false beacon... and a waste of time. It may, or may not be well-intended... But for me, Covey is a false prophet, making money off naieve young people's problems & anxieties.
It could've been summarised in 10 pages... Am not impressed... and am actually bitterly disappointed.

If you're into self-improvement I couldn't recommend this highly enough.
Four generations of time management:
1st generation - notes and checklists
2nd generation - calendars and appointment books
3rd generation - important idea of prioritisation, of clarifying values, and of comparing the relative worth of activities based on their relationship to those values
4th generation - recognises that "time management" is really a misnomer-the challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves
5th generation - tbc
