15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time Management: The Productivity Habits of 7 Billionaires, 13 Olympic Athletes, 29 Straight-A Students, and 239 Entrepreneurs by Kevin Kruse
2.0
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.
