Learn to use your most precious commodity―time―to truly live.
Arnold Bennett’s classic book, How to Live on 24 Hours a Day, has been changing the way people use and consider their time since it was first published in 1910. In the intervening century surprisingly little has changed―we still struggle to make use of our time and are often plagued by the persistent worry that we are not making the most of our lives. Bennett encourages readers to stop merely following the rote patterns of their lives and leverage their free hours by viewing time as a commodity like money―each of us is allotted exactly 24 hours every day to spend as we see fit. What we make of our lives will ultimately be a result of what we make of that time.
Bennett’s prescription is simple, but revolutionary: consider the time outside your work day as an entirely separate day, sixteen hours (give or take) during which you are free to do anything you like to grow and improve yourself and your happiness. Building on that premise, he helps readers begin to take control of their time―starting with just 90 minutes three times a week―and use it to truly live. Bennett’s writing is realistic and his advice transcends the years since it was first written. How to Live on 24 Hours a Day is an honest and refreshing perspective on how we can seize control of our time and spend it in the wisest way possible.

Everyday is a new budget of time
It teaches you how to schedule your day outside work hours and has excellent ideas on how to live rather than just existing

You only have 24 hours today
It’s a pretty decent book. It’s a little on the old side, but just as relevant. I would first caution you not to expect to much. Your mind isn’t going to be blown, but it does give encouraging advice.The premise is pretty simple; plan a few hours each week to do that ‘thing’ you want to do. Whether it be spending more time with your children, hanging out with friends you haven’t seen since high school or writing a book. As you start to spend your time on the things you love, you’ll find that you’ll find yourself using more time on such things.Remember, you have 24 hours today. You can’t borrow from tomorrow and you can’t reuse the hours from yesterday. You just have these 24 hours today.

Stop wasting your time off!
This book has some valuable ideas about training your mind / controlling your thoughts. One big take away for me was to stop viewing my after work hours as a sort of non-time where I bring no management of time or purposeful use of that time to bear. We so often waist and lose the time we have off work.

Wish I had read this a few years ago
Fantastic and entertaining outline for living a more full life – in my opinion, instantly more useful than half of the self improvement books available now, in a small easily remembered and re-readable form factor.

Fabulous
Short and sweet. And right on. May I never stop knowing myself better and learning, about whatever I like. Enjoy.

I think that the book it great but the edition could be better, for example, apparently the preface should go at the end of the book, I miss the number in the pages, etc

treat yourself to a couple of hours of delightful company which does not overwhelm, though it does ask a lot from the reader’s aspirations.
