The approach to time management, presented in this work, focuses on how highly-successful people get their work done and find a balance between the work they do and the life they live. The work includes insights on how to manage time from high achievers such as Malcolm Forbes Jr, Ted Turner, Sandra Day O'Connor, Zig Ziglar, Helen Gurley Brown, college president Dr Johnnetta Cole and Home Depot CEO, Bernie Marcus. The author has interviewed hundreds of contemporary peak performers, and researched dozens of historical high achievers, to unearth the secrets of their success. He presents their time-management tactics in short "bites" designed to inspire today's time-starved readers, whether they're overworked managers, working mums, entrepreneurs on the go or even newly-unemployed people who must suddenly learn to structure their own time. Instead of force-fed rigid systems, readers will discover flexible, real-world approaches on how to get organized, stay efficient, find hidden time, avoid procrastination, delegate and plan. Other topics covered include preventing conflict, an insidious time-waster and balancing work, family and social life. A special chapter on faxes, voice mail and other technology time-savers is also included.
