TIME WELL SPENT Getting things done through effective time management Lyndon Jones and Paul Loftus

This book is the result of a deep interest by both authors in its topic. It is based on the premise that it is important to know yourself before you start to manage how you deal with time. You cannot really manage time because it is a constant, and you cannot do anything to increase or decrease the number of hours in a day. All you can do is manage yourself in relation to the amount of time you have at your disposal. Time is the great equalizer: we all have 24 hours a day, no matter how much money we have and regardless of our race, religion, creed, colour, age and position or status in society.

The book is divided into two sections. The first six chapters deal with personal choice, while the ensuing 13 deal with generic skills for managing your time more effectively. The book starts with life goals in the first chapter and the next two chapters deal with helping you to attain them. Chapter 4 helps you to get to know yourself better; this will help you see how you as an individual deal with time. Chapter 5 deals with the problem of procrastination; those of us who are chronic procrastinators will find some helpful ideas here. Chapter 6 deals with the area of mental set and perception and their effect on time management.
