Pink reminds us that timing is important. His goal is to provide information on the best approach to the question of when. He organizes the book in three sections. The first is on the best times during the day. The second section is beginnings, endings and in between. The third section is synching and thinking.
My favorite facts and recommendations were from the first section. Unless you are a night owl, analytical tasks are best done in the morning and insight or creativity tasks are best for the afternoon. If you are a night owl, reverse the two. Most people are probably third birds (in between the early and late), not larks (early birds) or night owls. Naps are good for you. The best time is the in afternoon and 10-20 minutes is the best length. Lunch is the most important meal of the day. Lastly, the midlife crisis is a myth.
I thought this was an excellent book and would recommend it to everyone. For another endorsement of this book see: Shirley's review
