?How to Have a 48-Hour Day is an entertaining, common sense page-turner of a book on productivity by a very productive person. It is not a compilation of research written in a stuffy, academic way, nor is it a hook to buy an elaborate and expensive calendar or software. It is, quite simply a highly-readable, powerfully motivating book you?ll find difficult to put down.? Th...more

As much as I hate to admit that I really like Don Aslett, I have to admit that he's very cool. He was also my mom's hero. That's why I hate admitting it. Dang it! But he's so right about everything.
This book is all about time saving devices, ways to get more work done, and in general how to be a "producer". I also just started reading a book about Rex Lee (old pres of BYU who died of cancer), and I thought 'Every single thing that Don Aslett says about people who are achiev...more

This is a great motivational book with good tips on fitting more into your day. It was a little hard for me to agree on some of his tactics though. For example, it's clear that he thinks any distraction from your busy day is something to avoid at all costs. Well, that's a little hard with a 2-year old wandering around the house! But the rest of his input I think was great- I just have to allow distractions at times because those distractions in some ways are something that I need to accompli...more
The gist of this book is---get off your butt, de-clutter your house/self, and be early to everything, and have projects you can be working on in between and you'll get WAY more accomplished.
It's enough to make you want to puke, because we all KNOW we should do this, but Aslett is so enthusiastic in his "no excuses" way, that you want to jump right up and get going. (for a little while, at least!)

It has been over 25yrs since I read this book so this is not going to be much of a review. I read his previous book. I just loved his style of writng - very humorous. He goes straight to the point' Giving the information to get you on track, just what you need.
Don Aslett has written a ton of books and sells lots of stuff on HSN or QVC and runs a cleaning empire. This book was really an excellent book on using your time wisely and getting more hours from your day.
I don't care for his writing style, but he does have some good tips about being more productive. Worth a quick read.
Under the frothy, inspirational cheese-whiz, there be much good in this book.
I read this a long time ago. I enjoy Don Aslett's books. He's direct, motivating, and entertaining.
has a lot of common sense, but not always obvious ways to save time, albeit, if you followed all of them you would surely be labeled "scrooge"! Easy to read, but a lot was geared towards business managers.
At least motivational while I was reading it.
I've been trying to get up at 7 (chapter 5: "The Magic of Early"), but there are two small people who seem to get up at 6:50 or so after the first day I set my alarm.

I couldn't get into this book. I've read several of Don Asletts books in the past and gained stuff from them but this one just didn't hold my interest.
Some very good principles. I think the author has A.D.D.
