Manage your time written by Tim Hindle gives good incite on how to manage your time, in life and in work. The very beginning of the book starts with first understanding your time and deciding which is most important by analysis. After understanding your time, the next step is to plan for success by working out priorities, and finding what your work patterns are that are holding you back in time management. The book then moves on to making instant changes to improve your time management. The final chapter explains how to manage the time of others when working in a large group setting.
I felt that this book is helpful because unless we are able to manage our own time and work effectively and efficiently, there is no way that work can be done in a timely manner. The chapter which is assesses how to break down your own time and how well time is being spent, was very helpful when looking at general life. I especially liked the diagrams on where time is going when working in groups, and how to delegate time to the right people when managing projects.
I would recommend this book to everyone, no matter what type of job or where in life you might be. Knowing how to manage time might be a small part of the managerial battle but to me is the most important. I will defiantly look back at this when I am feeling like I am in a time crunch and need to asses and prioritize.
