Useful and valuable points on how to make one's life more productive. A good reference going forward. Just read the first half of the book, which doesnt take too much time. The second half of the book is just filler-spammed, crammed with copy-and-pasted quotes - skip this part.

This is the best time management book I've read. The 15 tips are smart and backed up by people who they've worked for, there are enough tips that you can try the ones that you think will work for you, and they are short enough that it's not a chore to read the book. I think anyone could benefit from reading this book and I'll probably reread or reference in the future.

This is a great entry point for those wanting a general overview of best practices. If you are familiar with any of these topics, you won't learn anything new, but it could act as a reminder. This is a book you can quickly skim to get the overall gist so you can go dig into specific areas you want to cultivate.

I think it is important to note that this book is clearly designed for people whose identity is based on what they do, their achievements, and how others perceive or judge their success. While I think the practices presented can be very beneficial in any area of life, I would encourage caution. It takes very little work to find stories of burnout, suicide, abuse of power, addiction, and destroyed families because of an identity based on what you do, how much money you make, or your “success.”

This book carried my entire high school career on its back, especially senior year. Year after year this book just continues to help me get through my goals faster—especially whenever I veer off track.

One of my favourite go-to's in the self-help ladder-climbing industry. (;

I was given this book by the author to write a review.

I don't usually read book about productivity. My all time favorite remains Eat your frog and that would be it; I have created my own tricks and since they work pretty good for me, I have stop looking for more "hacks" to improve my productivity. However, I decided to read this book to see if I could get new tips and tricks to include in my life.

It turns out that "15 Secrets..." is a very good book. It is written in a very simple way and has tons of small pieces of advice. Too much I would say actually.
What I like the most are the places the author goes to get fresh feedback: Great students, Olympians, Entrepreneurs and Business people.

At the end I di not find new things; i did realize though I share the basic aspects to be productive:

- Be an early riser.
- Physical activity
- Healthy food
- Write everything down on your notepad
- Schedule on your calendar
- Delegate
- Take long walks to let your unconscious mind do the work (I'm just not a yoga person)

I think at the end, productivity is a very intimate process. You cannot fool yourself and in order to improve your output, you need to know your strengths and weaknesses.
This book reflects how others have done it; that might shed some light to your inner process but remember, is always whatever works best for you.

It was niceee. The irony (or idk) is that I listened to the book summary of the book on time management. Lel. Now I know all the 15 secrets and quicker. Checkmate.

Love it!
And yes 1440 is a valuable number. We all have 1440 minutes each day, YOU decide how to use yours.

The best time management book I have read. I appreciate you can read many of these books and get bits from each one of them. With this book, I found every one of the secrets worked for me.

Maybe I was expecting too much from this book, but I had a really difficult time getting through it. I found it dull and overly long. The writing style felt very basic, so my eyes kept glazing over information I'd heard a thousand times before (often offered in a much more engaging way).

Having said that, I did pick up a few ideas I'll be implementing in my daily routine (checking email 3 times a day, touching everything only once, "themed" focus days), but that was about it. The book read like a collection of blog posts, loosely tied together by the overall theme of time management. It lacked depth, and even given the multitude of quotes from successful athletes, students, and business people, the content felt dry and lifeless.

Overall, this was a superficial look at a topic we all struggle with.
