Valuable with a pen in hand
Time Management by Polly Bird is a very good read if you are really decided to tackle your time management issues and improve how you use your time. The most surprising is probably the first chapter where the author invites the reader to think in terms of life priorities and to consider the bigger picture to make sense of the time at avail in everyone's life.

The book deals with all the techniques one can put into practice to manage time sensibly and efficiently. To take action immediately and save time in taking action on all the time management techniques presented, it is better to read this "Teach Yourself" volume - as most of these collection - with a notepad and a pen in hand to jot down ideas and answer questions asked along the successive chapters.

Time Management can be of interest to a very large audience, even if it is marketed as part of the "business" category of the Teach Yourself collection, and with the goal of "professional success". It can easily be argued that this book offers valuable advice and information not only for professionals, but also for retired people, students and all kinds who want to make the most of their time, without having this skill coming naturally.
