From the Author
Time Management is a Life Task not something that should be confined to our working hours. I wrote this book to help broaden the understanding of how we can all improve our Life Balance if we will only accept personal responsibility.
We need to understand "why" we want to improve our time management before we will ever be motivated to do something about it. So the book will help you uncover what it is you really want to do with your life before assessing the tools, techniques and most importantly, the principles that will get you on your way.
Amongst the unique "24/7 Tools" you will find are the Time Style model to help you understand your personal approach to time management and how you can maximise your results. You'll find Life Maps, Goal Maps and a Prioritisation system that actually works!
Also, for the first time, you will discover an analysis of the multitude of electronic tools available on the market and why they are better than the traditional paper-based methods we have used for so long. Knowing this information and applying it will have an immediate on your overall effectiveness and create breathing space in your life for activities beyond the "email mountain".
If you want to read some common sense from someone who has actually tried to implement all of the major systems and theories and found them somewhat lacking in practice; buy this book and absorb the messages - they work!
