DK Essential Managers: Manage Your Time

This book gets to the point. It has four relevant subjects with chapters under each subject that clearly explain the content. Points are made in each chapter which reveal the specifics needed to accomplish the purpose of the book. I have had a long term weakness with time management. The book has inspired and motivated me to manage my time better.

How often we hear guys shrugging off casually: 'ugh, time is short, we're busy' I think, we all have 24 hours in a day, 7 days a week, yielding 168 hours per week. Take away the sleep hours and hours engaged in fetching results we desire! Hence, its wise to work `smarter' than work `harder' and this requires efficient `Time Management' Walt Whitman, the poet, said it best, "The most powerful time is when we are alone, thinking about what we are to do." Daily Planning helps us to focus on what is really crucial and important in our day to come and permits us to identify time to use wasted hours more productively.
