I have read and felt this book is a work of self-help brilliance. Let me give you my take on one of his tactics which I use it for effective time management.

“How to be effective in using your time”

  • Use your full brain and focus fully to SKIM books and material that you want to read.
  • Before you start, ask what information you want to get out of the material.
  • Start Skimming for Diagrams, Pictures, Charts, Graphs, Questions at the end, Opening/Closing paragraphs. Do this for about 10~15min.
  • Formulate your question or the knowledge you wish to seek, then you begin to read in detail at the specific chapter for the knowledge you want. Do this for 30min. If you need more time, do for another 30min.
  • What do I gain? Fast and more focus on getting the answer I want. Time is saved.
The above Tactic is found in Chapter 7 "Ignite Your Motivation".
