38 Time Management
Q. What are some good books on time management?
A. One book that has been highly recommended by a number of readers
is "Time Power" by Charles Hobbs. The books helps you explore
your belief systems and work towards achieving "congruence" so
that your fundamental beliefs, goals, and actions are as free
from conflict or contradiction as possible.
------------------------------------------------------------
Some other suggestions are:
"How to Get Control of your Time and Your Life" by Alan Lakein
"Getting Organized" by Stephanie Winston
"Overcoming Procrastination" by Albert Ellis
"Executive Time Management" by H. Reynolds and Mary Trammel
"The Organized Executive" by Stephanie Winston
Although some of these cater to business folks, if you grasp the
principle ideas, then you should be able to apply them to any
situation.
Alan Lakein's six simple but powerful ideas are helpful:
1. List goals
2. Make a Daily To-Do list
3. Start with the A priorities, not the C's
4. Ask yourself "What is the Best use of my time right now?"
5. Handle each piece of paper only once.
6. Do it now!!!!!!!!!!!
You really don't need anything else except your own motivation.
Happy Reading!

I would like to recommend the Day-Planner by Franklin Quest.
The organization of it allows me to maintain a wealth of information
in ONE place. I used to be 'organized' with several methods -
computer based one at work, a small notebook pocket one for
portability, a larger notebook one for space, and a calendar
type for appointments. I found I was 'thrashing' - organizing
without really being organized for productivity.
Now that I have placed all of my information in ONE location, I
have facts and data at my fingertips. I am much more organized
and, I hope, productive.
