The whole book could be summarized in a couple of sentences (and most of those will just consist in common sense anyway). As other reviewers, I do not see any research/evidence in the text; but then evidence is difficult to summarize given the common sense nature of the ideas therein.
Better get to work on those important things instead of wasting time reading the book!

Obvious suggestions, but little evidence that the suggestions have any real research or evidence behind them.

This book captures simple rules that we already know but forget to make them a habit: be task oriented, don't invest time on low-value tasks, write down your activities, plan ahead, sleep well, eat healthy, etc.
Brian Tracy accomplishes its main objective--tell the reader to stop surfing the Internet and reading lots of books to find out the secret to be productive. However, I feel explanations in all chapters are somewhat repetitive.
