Don't Count Time, Make Time Count!

Tick ... tick ... tick ... can't find enough time? Find out how to use it far more wisely by the man who successfully run multiple business ventures simultaneously. Dan Kennedy has been called the "Professor of Harsh Reality" because he doesn't deal in glib, pabulum solutions and eye-rolling cliches you've heard incessantly on time management.

He takes on the world of cell phones, PDAs, faxes, e-mails, and every other communication device that pervade our lives, suggesting when to tap it, and when to give it the heave-ho. This entrepreneur/consultant/author/speaker has a whirlwind business life, yet manages to fit everything in using a handful of home-brewed time management tools he swears by.

He shows how to maximize your time with a fresh take on the mantra that "time is money." It's all about using disciplined productivity strategies Kennedy has devised over 30 years of managing highly-profitable businesses with only minimal help.

Customer Reviews

Blunt, plain talking, excellent advice.
This is without a doubt one of the best "management" books, I have ever read, and I have read quite a few over the years. This one contains some excellent advice about how to avoid time wasters, "vampires", and how to really get things done. The style is easy to read, funny and practical. I learned more from this book than I did from days of courses. I re-read it almost every year and I have given it to many other people. Buy it, read it and most importantly, use this advice. You will get more out of your time at work and, most probably, your whole life.

Shallow and Full of BS
This was most disappointing. I bought 4 time management titles at the same time and this was the worst by a long way. It contains very little of practical substance and is mostly tired and obvious platitudes interspersed with tedious examples of some pretty gullible-sounding people, including the author. We have to wait until page 120 for the revelation that "there will always be more things to do than the time available to do them" - imagine what the previous 119 pages are like! My copy of this book is going on the compost heap along with all the other "BS".

Entertaining and educational
I have read a lot of time management books, looking for the "perfect" system. Well, you could say I have wasted a lot of time searching! However of all the books I have read, this has to be one of the best. Although aimed at entrepeneurs, there are some fundamental lessons that are universal. The reason for this is that the author takes an approach that is focussed on dealing with the people you work with, who are after all are the biggest cause of time wasting. He also asks some blunt questions about you- what is your time worth? As a businessman he puts this in monetary terms, but he also makes the point that if you are more efficent with your work time, then you will have more time for leisure. And this has a very high value. Unlike the majority of books on time-management which are written in a turgid style, this is a very entertaining read. Highly recommended.
