Good things do come in small packages! That's definitely true with this little book on time management. 'Time' is one of a series of books for women on practical topics. You may already know or do some of the tips author Karen Whiting recommends, but they are worth repeating. Simply put, this book is like Crib Notes for Christians. You could easily read this over and over again as a reference or resource guide. Even the feel of the pages lend to the enjoyment - slick and smooth to the touch, and filled with beautiful artwork that illustrate the author's many good points, all of which are easy to follow. This little book packs a punch with a wealth of information. It's like the proverbial genie in the bottle, "phenomenal cosmic powers... itty bitty living space." Succinct yet supremely detailed and organized, it appeals to those folks who are list-oriented as well as those who prefer to have ready-made information right at their fingertips. It's high time there was a really good book about time management... and this is it.

Good things come in small packages. SECRETS OF SUCCESS FOR WOMEN:TIME , a 64 page book, is full of reminders, lists, and insights about women's issues with time management.

* Saying No Graciously
* Delegating
* Simplifying
* Overcoming Procrastination

When I interviewed her for our Messies Anonymous teleclass, her answers were just as perceptive as her book and a lot of women were inspired in their time management.

In a world where everything moves at the speed of light we need the gentle reminder to slow down, assess, and reassess our time. "We need to divide our dreams and work for the future, understanding that each work has a season. All does not need to be done in one day."

It is a beautiful little book filled with brilliant images, relevant scriptures, wisdom and reminders on evaluating your time, goal setting, prioritization, delegation, and overcoming procrastination. Also included is a breakdown of time tips for different personalities and tips for making the most of time during the busy holiday seasons.
