I just finished Frank's book, and, despite the plethora of time management books available, I found his to be refreshingly practical. You can tell he has been in the trenches of school leadership, as his useful suggestions address the realities school leaders face. Whether a teacher, principal, or any other school/district leader, you'll find at least three ideas you can use immediately.

This book is a great source of information for those who need more organization in their office. There are tips to benefit clerical staff as well as administrators. The suggestions are easy to follow and can be adapted one at a time.

If you are looking for a quick and easy way to organize your work environment and your life...you have to get Frank Buck's book! I know him personally and his tips work. Each day he leaves his desk clean because of the system he shares in "Get Organized: Time Management for School Leaders." You really don't have to be in education to benefit from the time management strategies. The book is an easy read and his practical ideas can be implemented immediately. What are you waiting for?

Successful scheduling is a hallmark of a successful and productive classroom. "Get Organized!: Time Management for School Leaders" is a complete and comprehensive guide for education professionals to maximize the value of their time and spend it wisely. Citing the tips as easy to execute and easier to follow, "Get Organized!: Time Management for School Leaders" should be considered by every school leader and for community library education collections.

As a full time teacher with administrative responsibilities, it is very difficult to accomplish in one day what is required of me. I have read many books on organizational skills but I found this book was an excellent summary of what I have read in other organizational materials.

I have already initiated a "tickler file" system as recommended in the book and I have found that it really helps me get necessary paperwork out of my office on time.

As I stated in my first paragraph, many of the ideas in this book are found in other resources that I have read. This book however, does offer most of the best ideas in one source. If the reader of this review is a collector of organizational books, you will probably have read these ideas before. If, however, this is your first organizational book, you will find it most helpful.
