Time management is a discipline that everyone acknowledges is worthwhile while simultaneously ignoring it. There seems to be something in the human spirit that rebels against time management, despite realising the benefits. It's rather like eating the right food - we can acknowledge all the benefits of eating lots of fruit and vegetables, we can even enjoy eating fruit and vegetables - and still pig out on junk food. This ability to ignore time management is very sad. There are plenty of variations on the theme of 'so much to do, so little time to do it in'. Few of us have time to get everything we really want to do completed. Few of us manage to effectively balance work and home life, business and pleasure, stress and stress relief. Good time management is more than a nit-picking discipline that will appeal to those who like everything in its place, it is a vehicle for getting more done and having a better life. If only it can be made practical.

A "Must Read" Book For All Managers
This book is amazing. A totally new outlook on Time Management in such a light hearted approach, yet serious enough to help you put it to the test. Brilliant excersises, guaranteed to help any manager

A waste of time for some
Generally readable but only for those with a specific job-in-an-office kind of problem. Not really useful if you are after generally relevant time-management tips. The exercises were rather interesting, but 6 months later, I can not say that I am actualy using any of the stuff.
