3.0 out of 5 stars
Lacks unique traits, August 25, 2008
This review is from: Time Management: Proven Techniques for Making Every Minute Count (Paperback)
This book, although covers all aspects of time management, lacks liveliness, energy and vivid examples.
In addition to this book, I highly recommend "First Things First" and "7 Habit of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R. Covey, "Getting Things Done" by David Allen, and "Time Drive" by Gleb Arkhangelsky.
A distinct feature of this book is the chapter about time management software, but this chapter is very brief.
In this book, you will learn to:
- Distinguish between the important and the urgent - this is the essence of time management, and more skillfully described in "First Things First" by Stephen R. Covey, as well as in virtually all books related to time management;
- The power to say "No" - this is also a major issue in all time management books, and is very well covered in "7 Habit of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R. Covey;
- Delegate - I recommend the book "Leadership without easy answers" by Ronald Heifetz on this issue;
- Communicate more effectively - please refer to "Never Check E-Mail In the Morning" by Julie Morgenstern and "The Hamster Revolution" by Mike Song, Vicki Halsey, Tim Burress, and Ken Blanchard;
- Cope with stress - please refer to the books by Deepak Chopra on this issue.
