Time Management

Working out what is really important, and then how to spend as much time as you can on those things, is what life is all about, and it’s what this book is all about. We all have the same issues with our time: interruptions, the temptation to do fun things instead of work, the temptation to multi-task, the tyranny of the urgent, and the tug of war between our own goals and those of other people. So, what is the best use of our time? Given all the tools available and the complexity of our lives, what should we use our precious minutes for? This boils down to only two questions really: what should we do first, and how long should we spend on it?In this book I have covered the whole spectrum from the big picture. What is the point of time management? Should you have a ‘to do’ list or put everything in your calendar? What can you do if you get too many emails each day? Everything that you need to know about time is in here.This book is a guide to help you to think about your life at the moment, and to help you to improve it. This is really a book about success. But success does not necessarily mean money or ambition, in fact it should really be success on your terms. It could mean:• quality of life• peace of mind• having as much fun as possible• experiencing better personal relationships with others• achieving the things you want to achieve.To succeed in any of these, time management is vitally important. It is perhaps the single biggest ingredient in achieving a lifestyle you are happy with.
