From Library Journal
This is a helpful book on ways to manage time to gain success in both professional and personal life. Mackenzie has written several other books and conducted seminars on time management. In this book he defines success as "doing your best" rather than just "getting to the top." Setting goals and then learning how to manage time to meet those goals should lead to success. The chapter on breaking human time barriers gives concrete suggestions that would be helpful to almost everyone. This book may appeal especially to young men and women starting their careers, but many older people, particularly those in management, would find it useful, too. A good buy for public libraries.
