There is more to time management than simply being better organized or working faster. This book avoids the purely mechanistic approach and looks at the psychological and behavioural aspects of time management as well as the more practical ways of managing time more efficiently and effectively. Unless attitudes, beliefs and habits are examined, argues this book, no "system' will work. This book, therefore, tackles the roots of time management problems and offers sensible, tailor-made solutions. Jaqueline Atkinson is the author of "Coping With Stress at Work".
• Do you have a habit of delaying work until the last minute?
• Do you try to get ten things done at once?
• Are you a perfectionist?
• Do you have trouble turning down work?
• Do you hate being organised?
There is much more to time management than simply being better organised or working faster. Everyone would like more time in each day, but not everyone approaches their tasks in the same way, so not every "time management" solution will suit everyone.
'Better Time Management' offers new approaches to solving a new problem:
• evaluate your attitudes to, and use of, time
• work out your goals and priorities
• choose from a wide variety of time management strategies
• decide how to incorporate your new strategies into each day
Time management is not a set of rules for being organised. It involves individual choices based on different personalities and different circumstances. So whatever your particular problem with time, this book could change your life.
