I am in the mid-beginning of this book and it is already an eye opener..I enjoy learning new tools to help myself so that I may help others. I suggest picking this book up and reading it if a person wants to truly help themselves.....

In all honesty, I would rather rate this a 3 1/2. However, Goodreads does not allow that option and I am leaning more towards the 4 mark. While the main principles Richardson uses to guide the readers into taking care of themselves are basic, they are practical none the less.
The biggest thing that helped me was identifying my energy drains and setting my "must do list." With a world in which faster is better and quantity often beats quality, it is nice to reaffirm yourself More...

This book is for the person who finds they have given away their selves to serve others in some way; whether it be their career; their family or their volunteer organization. This book gives clear guidelines on how to say "no" to what's weighing you down and to say "yes" to the things that build you up. It is a time management course to allow yourself to grow and be healthy one step at a time.

This book changed the course of my life. Cheryl Richardson's writing style resonates with me so I find her easy to read and relate to and I read all of her other books after I read this one. Time "management" is more about eliminating clutter and obligations than figuring out how to do more in the time we have.

i liked the voice...didn't seem very "new-agey", and the advice is practical. however, i have a long way to go before i "take time for my life"

Hitting the big 40, I decided to try to really tackle my weaknesses and read something that would have some 'homework' and help me change a few things in my life that I have struggled with for years: taking time to do the things I really want to do, to know myself better, and to really hear myself. Anyway, this book is outstanding! I have tons of quotes marked and enjoy the chance to get in tune with myself and with God. It has a religious undertone which I like.

I saw Cheryl on Oprah's program and the things she said really made sense to me. I bought the book and went to work.
I still have my 5 top things list stuck to my cabinet above my sink in the kitchen! Not shocking, I still struggle with some of them, but the priorities have changed for the better. I still have a long way to improve.

I love this book. One should read this at the start of every new year. She's got great insight and helps you make relaxing a priority. I get her emails weekly and they are filled with great tidbits and action items to help live an enriching happy life.
Oh, this is one of those books I never get to finishing.

I am in the read-through phase of working with this book. It is my aim to finish it before the new year, then turn is exercises and applications into my New Year Resolution. It's time for some drastic changes and I believe Ms. Richardson can lead me there through the suggestions in this, her first, work.

So far it is a good book for you to take time to reflect back on your life and write about it. The book is supposed to help you self-heal and move forward with your life. Read it, we can always have books to help improve ourselves.
