Time Management for Architects and Designers addresses the special time-management issues that confront those whose success depends on the skillful, creative, and effective use of their time. It offers students and professionals guidance in recognizing and understanding their problems and developing effective strategies for overcoming them. Illustrated with lighthearted drawings, it includes exercises aimed at exploring each designer's own unique situation and reinforcing good practice, a host of remedies for bad habits, and a personal time-management implementation plan that will help in getting every job done on time.
This is a GREAT book-- if you are an architect or just ADD this is terrific tool-- the exercises are difficult, but worth doing, and his descriptions of the difference between "tame" and "wicked" problems--and how to approach each, is very helpful--I wish I had read it as I struggled through graduate school doing all-nighters and never having finished products.
Must read for design students and professionals

An extremely lucid and entertaining manual on a subject that can be tedious. Humorously illustrated by the author, it includes a good summary of pitfalls in the design process. This book can go a long towards meeting design deadlines, while still having a life outside the design studio.
