This actually isn't too bad - It's basically a rehash of the things you'd expect, but with some personal commentary. I think the big thing about time management is it all comes down to this uber-productivity philosophy. Works well for getting "stuff" done, but sometimes being productive means having a terrific idea when you're out on a hike. For me, time management is simply about getting all the cruft (bills, etc, etc) out of my life -- and enabling me to be free the rest of the time... So, I think a lot of these productivity kicks are probably really useful -- they just take it too far.

The problem I have with most time management techniques is that I'm a writer. Sometimes sitting down and trying to write for an hour is like trying to bleed a stone, some days it just isn't going to happen. I've noticed I can easily get 3,000 words done in a few days without a problem, but the extra 2,000 words before I finish a chapter tends to screw me up. Suddenly I'm doing two jobs at once, I have to finish one story line but tie it to the next. I also hate the advice of 'you should write n words a day no matter what', because it's inherently useless advice. I don't write unless I'm writing something I know is half-way decent, I don't believe I should write simply for writings sake. I don't think any programmer here would add an extra 500 lines of random code 'just cause'.
