Book Description

August 3, 2011
Time Warrior is a revolutionary, non-linear approach to dealing with time, as bold as it is fresh and new. What is non-linear time management? Non-linear time management is a commitment to action in the present moment. It's looking at a task and choosing NOW or “not now.” If it's not now, it's got to be NEVER, or placed in a time capsule that has a spot on the calendar and therefore out of the mind. The mind must remain clear and empty of all future considerations. In non-linear time management there is no line extending from my mind into the future. No tapeworm of unfinished business coming out of my body. Non-linear time management is best expressed by Elvis Presley when he sings, “It's now or never, come hold me tight.” The old-fashioned time management programs had a huge, burdensome focus on the future. The line of tasks stretched out forever into the future. It was fear-based and it was overwhelming to have so much of a future to carry around with you. It resulted in massive, pathological procrastination. Everything got put off in the name of perfectionism. Nothing was bold or reckless anymore. Therefore there wasn't much astonishing success happening for the world-weary practitioner. But when Chandler teaches people to go non-linear, a strange thing happens. New life and energy come in. When they open their emails they don't get to save them for later. They have to deal with them if they open them. Like little attackers in a computer game, there is no longer anywhere to hide. Life becomes a great game and everything is handled right now on the spot. All fear comes from picturing the future. Putting things off increases that fear. Soon we are nothing but heavy minds weighing down on weary brains. Too much future will do that. Only a warrior's approach will solve this. A warrior takes his sword to the future. A warrior also takes his sword to all circumstances that don't allow him to fully focus. Chandler is a coach by profession, and when he works with a client who is “overwhelmed” with too much to do and not enough time to do it he will often ask them to give him an example of one of the things they are burdened by every time they think about it. The client will give him an example and they will do that thing right now. The client is amazed. The only thing missing in this client's life was a bias for action. Most people think too much. Then they compound that problem by studying the feelings that come up for them as a result of that thinking. All this time that they spend thinking and feeling they could have been taking action. In a non-linear way. Linear time starts with your birth and ends (at the end of the line) with your death. Along that long linear line it's just one damn thing after another. Then the lights go out. What was the point? Non-linear time management stops all that weary nonsensical treading on the road to one's destiny. Rather than inching along horizontally you must simply rise up. Your life can now become vertical. Now you don't postpone challenges, you rise to them. You become a warrior. And it works. How, exactly, does it work? This book will show you exactly how it works.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Most people continuously struggle with their problems of procrastination and disastrous time management - especially in this age of instant global connection to everyone and everything. So writing a book about how I work with my clients on this issue of "time" was a challenge. I wanted it to be a book about non-linear time management, not the standard boring "tips" for managing linear time. So I called my book Time Warrior.

The "violence" in the word "warrior" was intended. For although the work you do can be slow and easy, to master non-linear time you must pull out your sword ahead of time to carve out periods of space and silence.

Your war is against interruption and distraction.

Because if you can bring gentle sustained focus to a task, you'll never "fail." --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

From the Back Cover

Steve Chandler has outdone himself. In his latest book, Time Warrior, he turns
the concept of time management on its head.  He actually transcends the concept. 
Chandler demonstrates that the very notion of time efficiency is outdated and unworkable. 
For me this book is the best of combinations: a stimulating ground breaker, an entirely fun 
exploration and an energizing mind shift. Time Warrior is a gem - a book whose time has come.

Jay Adams, Host - EMMY Award Winning Breakthrough Medicine and Fight Zone TV


If you want more time, make time for this book. No excuses. It contains
the secrets to productivity and will change your life. Now.

Dr. Joe Vitale, author, The Attractor Factor


Think of all the things you'd like to do someday but 
supposedly can't because there's not enough time. Now 
imagine having your belief about 'time' being removed 
from your mind with one slash of a samurai sword. That's what 
Steve Chandler does for you in Time Warrior. He stuns 
you with the REAL reason you're not getting things done,
then restarts you with the simplest, easiest and most profound
way to master your time without wasting a second
on managing it.

Matt Furey, author, The Unbeatable Man

5.0 out of 5 stars My New Tool! April 13, 2011
By D. Bish
Format:Kindle Edition
Most reviews I write, which aren't many, tend to be in enthusiastic support of an item, simply because I just don't take the time to write something unless I REALLY feel that it's a great item. (Once in a while I'll take time to write a negative review but since there's already enough negativity to go around, I try to avoid it!).

Well, this review is no different - this is an excellent tool - not a book, not a "read", etc. It's a tool that I have personally used to get "unstuck" from the habit of continuous email checking, internet ADHD sydrome, pausing to play scrabble on my iPhone every 5 minutes, you name it! With short, easy to digest chapters, I was able to return to a place of calm, focusing on a single item until it's completed, then move on to the next one with ease. Yes, I still take a pause every once in a while to do some of those old activities, but they're a choice and not a distraction and it feels good to know that I accomplished my necessary items first, the ones that propel me toward my goals.

So, simply put, this is an enthusiastic review of a great tool - one that you should find as useful as I did if you'll take its advice seriously and put it into action.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can *CREATE* your future... April 7, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Time Warrior begins with a powerful quote by Bruce Lee: "The successful person is the average person with laser-like focus." And I discovered that I was reading yet another of Steve Chandler's books that reminds me to be a CREATOR and not a VICTIM.

Steve Chandler is a man who just GETS it that our problems can't be solved at the same level as we created them. Most time-management books help busy people manage their time better so they end up juggling even more balls in the air and feeling even more stressed!

This takes traditional time-management and turns it on its head: its a book about what Chandler calls "non-linear time management". There were moments when it was like he was calling me out personally, on how I hold myself back. And other moments when I laughed out loud!

Peter Drucker said, "The best way to create the future is to create it." This is a book that kept on reminding me - chapter after chapter - to create MY future...

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank You, Steve Chandler February 20, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
For the last 2-3 years, every time I have faced moments of extreme self-doubt (let's be frank and call it FEAR) in my life, I've opened a book by Steve Chandler and had a "thanks, I needed that" slap in the face moment. Time Warrior is another one of those books.

Slow down, focus on the moment, the only thing that is important is that one small thing that is in front of you right now.

Do yourself a huge favor, and BUY this book.
