The best advice I’ve ever heard.

This is a modern classic. Great advice to eliminate hurry, overwhelm, and burn out.
Thirty minutes to listen. A lifetime to master.

Primer to deeper content

This was a 10,000 ft view of some significant topics. Definitely food for thought, but I was hoping for more depth and explanation to make the message more applicable. I wasn’t looking for someone else to do the work for me, but additional guidance would have been appreciated.

Helpful Reminders of How To Use Time Well

This is a great and quick read to help reorient how we view our time. The kind of book that should probably be read time and time again as we go through life.

Excellent

Excellent content, and very succinct. It is challenging and convicting, but very practical and applicable knowledge and wisdom.

A classic worth your time.

The importance of a proper perspective and use of time is a critical component of the Christian’s walk of discipleship. Hummel’s simple 4-step plan is effective and telling. May God teach us to number our days and apply ourselves with wisdom.

Great book on time management

This book is a short read/listen but effective in communicating the importance of budgeting time/priorities. It does use a biblical perspective and was very helpful.

Wasn't looking for a book on God or Jesus…

I was looking for a business book. Something that would help me with my schedule and the all of 5 minutes that the actually talk about it was of no use to me. The rest of the tape is about The Bible which was a waste of my time
