Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Is there one person today (aside from those living in remote areas, perhaps) who has ever mentioned having a surfeit of time? To the rescue of time-starved individuals come Eisenberg and Kelly, who have carved a decent career out of helping others save minutes, hours, even days. The trick, of course, is setting goals, establishing priorities, and learning to say no. Along the way, the authors offer advice on mail handling, delegating, promptness, and at least 19 other "get organized" chores or tasks that manage to devour valuable time. Of most interest are the summaries at the end of every chapter ("checkpoint and review") and the list of 170 ways to do things better, from sending postcards instead of letters to preparing a written agenda for all meetings. Helpful, sound, sense-filled recommendation; but who's got the time to read and digest and implement? Barbara Jacobs

Great book on time management,
By A Customer
This review is from: Overwhelmed Person's Guide to Time Management (Paperback)
This book was an excellent book on the most effective use of time. Since I tend to procrastinate so easily, this book helped me to focus on the tasks at hand. The author,gives great insight into what one needs to get control of our time and therefore have time for those all important things in our lives.

Where is the help with information overload?,
By
This review is from: Overwhelmed Person's Guide to Time Management (Paperback)
The Overwhelmed Person's Guide to Time Management is but one of dozens of "you can handle it" titles available today. However, the focus on information overload per se is lacking. This 320-page book is a good seller.
