Traditional time management techniques are no longer sufficient in our 24/7 economy. With the constant bombardment of e-mails, telephone calls and meetings, it is all too easy to forget good time management principles both in and outside of working life.
Effective time management is about developing a personal approach to an increasingly complex challenge. Only by fully understanding your motivations for improving time management and by actively changing your behaviour, will you be able to double your effectiveness and achieve a better balance in life.
Time Management 24/7 introduces a host of unique tools and models that will help you to:
Pinpoint your own motivation for improving time management Identify what your priorities are both in and outside your working life Understand your personality traits and work with those of other people Break free from the real (and imaginary) constraints of the digital age and get a life! The author looks at the benefits of using electronic time management tools alongside the more traditional time management principles. He examines the latest options available, how to choose the most appropriate tools for you and how to get the best use out of them.
Whether you are a busy executive, a social lunatic, a keen organiser or a person who just can't say no, this book will provide the answers for you.
