How to Make Your Day Matter
This small volume from the pen and experience of John Maxwell is very practical and insightful in setting forth principles to make each day of life count. I like the theory and the discipline set forth by Maxwell. He blends both aspects of a successful plan to make your life count in whatever calling or vocation you may pursue. The personal anecdotes are helpful to make the reader realize that Maxwell's theories of how to make each day of life successful are rooted in his own success. Lastly, the activity questions at the end of each chapter put the reader on point to account to himself/herself for putting the principles into action right then.
A book well-worth its price and highly recommended for anyone aspiring to a life of success.

Addresses ALL the spokes in "the wheel of life."
Good things often DO come in small packages!
This is a short but powerful book packed with good advice. If you are striving to find balance in your life and to "major in majors" instead of "majoring in minors," read this book. You can likely finish it in an hour or two - time well spent.
The key of course lies not just in reading but doing, as in any self-help book.

Well worth it
I really enjoyed these CDs. A great way to go about things if you don;t have lots of spare time to read. Maxwell is a gifted writer and the knowledge he shares is well worth it. I feel I have been able to make a difference in my life after listening to this.

A great guide for changing your life!
You won't be disappointed by John C. Maxwell's helpful guide to time management. Maxwell's strategies will work for even the most time crunched people. Maxwell's program teaches people how to prioritize 12 things that truly matter and how to follow through daily in these areas. It is easy to feel as though you lack the free time to affect any change in your life, but Maxwell shows how devoting small amounts of time in the proper way can make all the difference. The audiobook version seems especially helpful for the book's audience - people with little free time. You can listen while stuck in traffic or cleaning the house, and figure out how to reorganize your life at the same time. Narrator Lew Grenville is an experienced performer and you might recognize his voice from National Geographic or the Discovery Channel. His voice is authoritative, clear, and pleasant to listen to, and meshes well with the subject matter. At a playing time of 3.5 hours, busy people should find this audiobook well worth their (multi-tasking) time.

This book helped me- a busy, busy Mom!
I'm a working mom with very little time. The topic of this book appealed to me - how to be successful and reach goals by doing a little bit each day. Maxwell's twelve suggestions for daily goals make you definitely think hard about how to focus your energy. I found I could focus on a lot of change using his program and suggestions. You can incorporate these goals into a busy life.
The audiobook format was key for me. Audiobooks help me read when busy. The narrator had a nice voice, and the sound quality was very good. I highly recommend this to busy moms everywhere!
