Product Description
Product Description
Time creation, as it is defined in this book, is another name for chronemics, the study of how we use our time and of how we may use it more effectively. It provides a set of techniques for doing things in time-saving ways and will change your life for the better if you put it into practice. You will cease to be one of life's headless chickens who dash around looking busy but achieving little, and become one of its laidback bears who really gets things done and enjoys life at the same time. This book will enable you to speed up those activities that can sensibly be speeded up, and to identify ways of saving time in those that cannot. The objective as one of life's laidback bears is to create some discretionary time which you can spend in whichever way you fancy; be it getting more work done, thinking about work-related problems which you don't normally have time to think about, engaging in your favourite leisure activity, or just sitting and dreaming.

Unhelpful and repetative,
This review is from: Headless Chickens, Laidback Bears: Use Scientific Techniques to Create More Time and Revolutionise Your Life and Work (Paperback)
This is the sort of book that gives self-help books a bad name. The only person who can be helped by it is the author. I found it written in a monosyllabic, constipated style, with endless repetitions of the same points and generalizations that make even useful advice sound trivial and cliche. This is a great shame especially because none of the promises made on the cover are kept in the text. The book claims to be based on 'scientific techniques', and wile this may be the case, the author makes no reference to any research and does not provide any examples. The biggest draw back is that the book delivers empty common sense advise (such as: make a list of the periods when you were wasting time and find ways of filling this time better in the future") in disguise of research which will "revolutionize your life". If you are looking to use your time more effectively you can start by not reading this book.
