time management for business,
By Jeanne Boyarsky (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time Management: Increase Your Personal Productivity And Effectiveness (Harvard Business Essentials) (Paperback)
While I consider myself good at time management, I like to read a couple time management techniques when my life has changed in a way that no longer suits my current "system." This system doesn't come from a book although it is inspired by techniques from many places. Reading this book helped in my goal. I actually think I've read this book before many years ago. It still provided ideas, which is fine. That's the nice thing about time management. Techniques change over time to match how you work with time.
It's actually hard to review this book because it contains everything one would expect in a business book about time management - logging your time, scheduling it, prioritizing, delegating, dealing with time wasters. I particularly liked the sections about time robbers and travel because I read the book on a plane!

A sensible guide on how to use your time,
This review is from: Time Management: Increase Your Personal Productivity And Effectiveness (Harvard Business Essentials) (Paperback)
For poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, time was, "a maniac, scattering dust." Satirist Jonathan Swift described it as, "all-devouring, all-destroying." William Shakespeare called it, "the wreckful siege of battering days." English dramatist Robert Greene may have captured time's essence most aptly in this simple elegy: "Time is...time was...time is past." Throughout history and up to the present moment (which as you are reading just slipped irretrievably into the past), everyone - from great kings to the average Jane or Joe - wants more time...but no one ever gets it. This is why time management is such a, well, timely topic, and one that most people want to learn more about and handle better. Therefore, we recommend this high-quality time management guide and finds it worth careful study. Time-management experts at the Harvard Business School prepared this first-rate title, which thoroughly explains how to set up an effective time-management program. So, read it. Don't wait until the buzzer sounds.
