Publisher's Summary
This classic personal time-management book, originally published in 1908, has inspired generations of men and women to live deliberate lives. Not just another collection of timesaving tips, this book is more of a challenge to leave behind mundane everyday concerns, focus on pursuing one's true desires, and live the fullest possible life. Reflection, concentration, and study techniques make it easier to accomplish more truly rewarding undertakings than anyone ever dreamed possible.
Editorial reviews
Author Arnold Bennett lived a busy life. He was a prolific English writer who moved to France and became a high-ranking bureaucrat. He also dabbled in film and opera, and had a rich personal life. How to Live on 24 Hours a Day is chock full of Bennett’s tried-and-true advice. Bennett urges his audience to live authentic and ambitious lives. For Bennett, time is the great equalizing currency: No one can choose their allotment, or accrue additional time. So you must spend what you have wisely. Narrator Eric Brooks has an august British accent, and he expounds with the authority Bennett himself would have employed. Brooks methodically explains Bennett’s techniques for increasing concentration and self-awareness, both key tools to increase productivity and time efficiency.

Aged out waffle of a bygone era
If you are a male in your 70-90s, this is a book for you. Advice such as “one must reconstitute one’s program, carry Emerson and read the paper while waiting for one’s dinner” is aplenty. I guess dinner will cook itself, or that little lady will prepare it for you, as you ponder how to fill out your day, while the domestic chores magically get done. Because, well, you’re above that.

Mostly timeless
This was meant to be witty in 1908, but it's still remarkably relevant today despite being pitched at a very narrow audience. I've learned something anyway.
