TimeHack Master the Art of Time Management and Control Time at Your Will by Ryan Tee is a time management self-help book.

Discover how to manage your time more efficiently and become more productive. This book explores a number of ways to make the most use of your time and gives practical tips to help you achieve the goals you have for your life.
I am glad that I had the opportunity to read this book. My schedule has been a bit cluttered lately and this book has given me some helpful pointers and reminders to get myself back on track. I guess you could say I read this book in the nick of time (pun intended).

There is some really good information in this book. Much of it I believe to be plain old common sense. However common sense is not always common, so it is not necessarily a bad thing that it includes a lot of basic information. I did learn a few new things and I found that implementing several of the author’s strategies has helped me tremendously.

The book is quite short and easy to read. It does not get bogged down by excessive wording or explanations, but rather is a concise guide to time management. I appreciate the easy length and think that other people who are busy will find this book to be a good investment of their time. I also enjoyed the examples the author gives in order to explain his point. They are both clear and helpful in understanding precisely what he means.

I have to say, I do not think the title actually fits the book. Initially, I was unsure about reading this book because the phrase “Control Time at Your Will” sounds slightly like a form of mysticism. I was happy to see that the book is practical. While this book does touch on meditation, it is more for reasons of calming down and relaxing, than as a spiritual exercise. Although I do think the meditation section has little to do with time management and is a bit out of place.

My rating for this book is 4 out of 4 stars. It is well written and of professional quality. I enjoyed it and learned several new things. I think that many people can find the tools in this book helpful whether they are a businessman or a stay at home mom, like me. Certainly, this is a book that could appeal to anyone since we are all bound by time.

I really enjoyed reading your review, Rachaelamb1! I agree with Brittster - this is a concept that could help many. I hear the words 'Where did the time go?' 'How did get so late?' and 'What have I done all day?' many times. Time doesn't change, it's how we manage it, so looks like this a very beneficial book!

Post by Amheiser »

This seems like it could be a very helpful book. Sometimes a person can get so busy, and so focused on getting things done, that they don't realize that if they just stepped back for a bit and organized their time better, they could actually have more time. This book sounds like it could give a person some ideas on how to do that, and it sounds like it does it in a concise and organized way. I like that it has examples to make things more clear. I also like that it is a short read so that a busy person can take the time to read it. Your review gives a good explanation of what is contained in this book and how it could help people.

I enjoyed reading your review! The book sounds like it would be useful for a procrastinator like me. :) I agree with your point about the title. When I first saw it, I thought the book was going to have a New Age theme.

Thank you! We could all use a little more time but since we're not going to get any more hours in a day we should learn how best to manage it :)

Great review! I have always had problems with time management. It's interesting that the author decided to include mediation as a relaxation technique. I agree that It doesn't fit with the theme of the book.

Thank you! Time management is a lot harder for me now as a stay at home mom, than it was when I worked outside the home. Creating my own schedule and sticking with it is hard!

Thank you for the great review. A friend of mine is fond of saying, "Time is not your friend". How true! I'll be adding this title to my bookshelves. As for the meditation part of the book, perhaps the author's argument is that taking the time to be present in the moment, even for a short while, can get us focused and more productive with the time we do have? Thanks, too, for clarifying that the book was not a metaphysical one. The title had me uninterested at first.
