Paperback. Time is our most precious commodity: the one thing we can never get more of. It should not be wasted, nor merely spent; it must be invested.All around us, people are living in time poverty. Days, months, and even years can slip by without accomplishing anything truly satisfying. Most of us are so busy reacting to the demands of everyday life that we struggle to find the time to read even this short book.First published in 1997 and now in a fully revised third edition, Use Time Or It Will Use You is a modern classic of time management, written not as a productivity system but as a way of thinking. Its central idea is simple and demanding: treat time the way wise investors treat capital. Investing time well is a skill, learnable like any other, and this book teaches it in plain language, in a handful of short chapters.Inside, you will learn: The Laws of Time Investment: how to create a compelling future, choose goals worthy of your hours, and invest in the people and pursuits that make a life richThe Laws of Time Utilization: how to value your time, prioritise, plan, and guard your hours from everything that wastes themA Plan for Action: practical planning methods that turn principle into daily practiceThis is not another book of hacks for squeezing more into a crowded day. Its laws are simple to grasp and demanding to live. Practiced consistently, they are how ordinary people accomplish extraordinary things.New in the Third Edition: this edition has been carefully revised for today's reader and pairs the book with Use-Time, a companion app that turns its planning templates into a living daily practice.About the AuthorR. Geoff Dromey (1946-2009) was Foundation Professor of Software Engineering at Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia, founder of its Software Quality Institute, author of the classic How to Solve It by Computer, and originator of the Behavior Engineering method. He wrote this book for the general reader, from a simple conviction: that the disciplined, purposeful use of time is what allows anyone to build a richer and more accomplished life.Most authors hope their books will just be read and appreciated. This book is different: it seeks to change the way you value your time, and to show how time can be invested to lead a fulfilled life. Time is the one resource you can't get back. R. Geoff Dromey shows how disciplined, purposeful time use, not busier days, builds a richer, more accomplished life.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.

Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
