time management that works
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The author takes the best of existing systems, throws in his own experience and insights, which are plentiful and based on years of self-management, and puts it all in a framework that is readable and useable. This is a reference I turn to often and it has made a difference in my life. Personally, I think Lakein's system, while a brief compact read, is for clock-watching drudges, and Covey's books are full of incomprehensible sentences stuffed with unfocused new-age ramblings. Marshall Cook has the plan that works for me. I am sorry to see it is out of print. If you, like me, want a well laid out book you can actually follow and use, I would search out Marshall Cook's "Time Management".
Hands-on time management manual
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
If you feel that your life is spinning out of control, this time - or should one say, life - management book will surely calm your racing heart. Marshall Cook doesn't draw a line between time management techniques and life skills because, he argues, time is life. Therefore, this book covers topics ranging from how to reduce stress, sleep well and exercise to how to identify your core values and live in harmony with your biorhythms. This ambitious scope makes the book quite long for an easy self-help read and some of the more practical time management advice gets buried along the way. However, the summaries at the beginning of each section and the time management tips at the end of each chapter will help the reader use the book wisely. Although Cook echoes familiar time management advice, his conversational style and shoot-from-the-hip attitude make this book stand out in an overcrowded genre. getAbstract recommends this guide to anyone who has ever uttered the phrase, "I'm so stressed!"
Solid, thorough material
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book was thoroughly reserched. By the way, Steven Covey didn't invent the urgent/important issue and therefore is not the primary source. Likewise for the Richard Carlson comments. The urgent/important issue appears in EVERY good time management book and at this point is common knowledge. There is much original material in this book. As a professional writer, I know the author didn't violate any laws, so don't worry about it.
