Time Management

Are you a slave to your to-do list? At the end of the day, is your list longer than when you started? Are you awash in a sea of sticky notes and memos?

Stop! Instead of listing your important tasks, schedule them with a start time and end time. This will help you create a mini-plan for each task, and a workable, productive agenda for your day.

This is just one tip from Time Management, Second Edition. And there's more-a lot more. You'll learn how to:

• Distinguish between the important and the urgent
• Say "No" and avoid time-wasting tasks
• Delegate for greater productivity
• Communicate more effectively
• Understand the many time-management software programs available
• Cope with stress

This book provides both a framework for building a personal time philosophy and the real-world tips and techniques for becoming more efficient and productive.

You have more time than you think. Time Management, Second Edition will help you find it.
