5.0 out of 5 stars
Time As Our Scarcest (and Thus Most Valuable) Resource, 24 May 2004
This book is designed for those who need time management the most, and have the least knowledge about the subject. I'll be brief, as a result.The book is a collection of over 250 sayings, questions, and quotes (very few of the last) on the subject of why time is important and how to get the most out of it. I have read extensively on this subject, and did not see any major area of thinking that was not reflected somewhere in the book. So you will have a good overview of the principles for how to improve when you are done. You won't have detailed directions, but other books can help you with that when you are ready for them. The book covers why time is important, goal-setting about time, use of goals, the application of Pareto's Law (80/20 Rule), planning, delegation, priorities, outsourcing, happiness, getting rid of time wasters, rewards from becoming more effective, reading and learning more effectively, and the impact on your personal life. If you allocate 2 minutes a day to this book, you should soon be saving significant amounts of time and becoming more effective. You could do that while sitting through commercials on television or during moments of enforced idleness when it is safe to read (riding the bus, waiting in line at the bank, etc.). By starting to take control of your time, you'll end up with a life you would like to lead! Use the additional time well to make a difference for those you care about!
