5.0 out of 5 stars Great time management resource book., October 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Make the Most of Your Workday (Paperback)

I first read this book about three years ago and I find myself constantly going back to it for personal tips on time management, but more importantly I use all or parts of it as a training resource for subordinates with time management problems. It's a no nonsense book, laid out logically, easy to read, and contains some great exercises to help drive home different points. You can't go wrong purchasing this book.

This review is from: How to Make the Most of Your Workday (Paperback)

This book contains a somewhat eclectic mix of project planning tips, motivational quotes and anecdotes, and genuine get-your-ass organized tips.

The way this is written, you can read it in one of two ways. You can skim this quickly and extract a good dozen tips for implementation at work tomorrow, or you can take your time, fill out all of the worksheets contained inside, and really examine your work habits thoroughly. Many of the tips inside are really great for simply getting organized at work: the tickler-file concept, the two different methods for to-do lists, to name just a couple.

The writing isn't superb but it does a good job of servicing a wide audience. Whether you're a seasoned manager with some bad habits to examine or a recent college graduate with a procrastination streak to kick, this book will help you.

This review is from: How to Make the Most of Your Workday (Paperback)

Peg Pickering presents a standard, basic time and self management guide, which is particularly helpful for disorganized people. She teaches you how to organize your work and yourself. Many of the guidelines will be familiar and seem like plain common sense. However, she presents the material in a well-organized brass-tacks way, and her summaries at the end of each chapter are particularly useful highlights of the main points. She also includes a number of charts, forms and quizzes that provide helpful advice for organizing your life and work. Additionally, the book is formatted in a reader-friendly way, with boxes and frequent headlines and type-changes that make it easy to skip ahead to the topics that interest you most. We recommend this good solid guide, particularly for office workers, managers and business professionals.
