From Booklist
Davenport owns a business called Order from Chaos, and this book, based on her work, is a six-step guide to time management through organization. Davenport walks the reader through getting one's office under control, what to carry in the attache, and scheduling time throughout the day to maximize effectiveness. She uses a system she calls Air Traffic Control, which is the key to her time-management system. You become your own pilot and your office is the cockpit. The aeronautical terminology used throughout the book actually puts an interesting spin on a logical system to re-organize behavior. Davenport goes beyond mere organization, prompting readers to examine their daily habits, which can be the root of organizational problems. She outlines a plan to readjust those habits to provide you with more free time to--fly. Eileen Hardy
