About this title

Synopsis

This 20-year classic has been thoroughly updated for all who, despite desktop computers and Concorde flights, face more overwork and stress than ever before. Phone interruptions, drop-in visitors, meetings, socializing, poor communication . . . here are the most current tactics for dealing with them all.

Review

Since it was first published, The Time Trap, by internationally known authority Alec Mackenzie, has indeed become The Classic Book on Time Management, as proclaimed in its subtitle. Based on the theory that self-management is the key to handling the time crunch that we all face, it focuses primarily on Mackenzie's 20 biggest time wasters, such as telephone interruptions, the inability to say "no," and personal disorganization, and offers clear step-by-step ways to combat them. The updated third edition also includes information on time problems caused by technology, downsizing, and self-employment.
