In Put Time Management to Work: Get Organized, Streamline Processes, Use the Right Technology, Peggy Duncan helps busy professionals and small business owners examine every aspect of how they spend their time, and offers many practical solutions for managing it.
Duncan offers time management tips that go beyond setting goals and knowing how to juggle priorities. The book begins with ways to eliminate clutter—whether it’s on your desk or in your mind—and explains how to create a system so that it doesn’t come back. After you get organized, you’ll be able to think more clearly, so you’ll then set goals to help you focus on the right things.
After that, you’ll learn other timesaving techniques such as how to delegate, handle interruptions, say no, overcome procrastination, reduce time spent in meetings, and more. The book moves on from there and explains how to eliminate useless work by streamlining processes and creating procedures that are easy to follow.
To top everything off, the author explores timesaving technologies and computer tips that will help you finish work quicker. To help bring everything together, Duncan outlines two case studies that include practical tips and techniques you can use at home and at work to help you get back in control.
