Description
Mark Forster argues in refreshingly sharp prose that time management is too difficult for most people. There is nothing you can do to change the pattern of 24 hours, seven days, 52 weeks and so on. "There is no such thing as time management", he says. "Time just is." But what you can do is to focus more effectively. Confiding that he is naturally disorganised, Forster, a life coach, manager of his own network marketing business and Resources Officer for the Diocese of Chichester, shares his own "attention focusing" techniques. His methods are based on his own experience and on the workshops and seminars he runs on how to get everything done. These include looking beyond the immediate tasks, learning to say "no", sorting out the significant from the trivial, and costing everything you do against a notional hourly rate of pay so that you can evaluate every activity against its "cost"--from watching the television news to going to a meeting or praying. Accept, he says, that the main reason most people don't do things is disinclination--not lack of time. So you must be honest to identify resistance--the "R factor"--in yourself. Then deal with it. It is important to make time every day for "depth" activities too. Yoga, meditation or journal writing, for example, can create "an oasis of calm" in "the daily grind of clashing priorities". Or it could be learning a language or playing a sport. But don't try and do many different things. Foster laments our modern tendency to favour depth over breadth by getting involved in "more and more things in a shallower and shallower way". There is plenty to think about here and some sound practical advice. The only problem is that you have to find time to read it! --Susan Elkin

Highly recommend!
This is just the best book! As a huge procrastinator, this book finally got me going. Pair this with his other book, "Do it tomorrow", and you should see marvelous results! Written by someone who understands how procrastinators think. Much better than "The Now Habit"- actually gives you tips and systems you can start using right away. Has enough meat to make you come back and still learn more from it.
A Timely Cure for Affilate Marketers with TOS
From working with Affiliate Marketers I've found they're particularly prone to Task Overload Syndrome - those non-ending tasks which come with running a gazillion affiliate web sites.
The key to applying the information in Mark's book is to build it into a personal structure combined with variety.
The structure comes with how you slice and dice the tasks you know you should commit to do on a regular basis but seem to slip up on or procrastinate over at the expense of the time wasters - using the halving (or "binary") approach on a list of common tasks such as keyword checking, link exchange, link checks, article uploads, daily bookkeeping and site backups can be a revelation for those who have waded into creating a sea of sites and are now slowly drowning in the backroom tasks...
Other techniques such as the use of timed work sequences which gradually increase to accomodate the time the task requires without overrunning your day, allow you to introduce variety and an element of "game" into how you do your work (get a free online timer - I use an Egg timer from Sinner computing)
Even if you never get onto working thru your tasks according to the "resistance principles" that Mark introduces toward the end of the book, it is still a fantastic bargain at the price.
Of course there is always one-to-one coaching which can be even more effective but at a greater monetary cost.
A book written by someone who was a poor time manager
Many of the books about managing time seem to be written by systematic organized people who share their techniques, and the assumption is that you too can manage time if you follow their methods. Mark Forster started from the position that he was poor at managing his time. He analyzed what was going on, and recognized that the problem he had was about attention and about poor habits. He also noted that some of the most time-effective people he knew didn't use time management techniques at all. He created a series of training exercises, described in the book, which will help develop more effective habits. The book is personal, and describes the problems he had in learning his new methods in an interesting form. I'd recommend this book for anyone who wants to be more effective in getting things done.

Written by someone who understands how procrastinators think. Much better than "The Now Habit"- actually gives you tips and systems you can start using right away. Has enough meat to make you come back and still learn more from it.
A Timely Cure for Affilate Marketers with TOS
From working with Affiliate Marketers I've found they're particularly prone to Task Overload Syndrome - those non-ending tasks which come with running a gazillion affiliate web sites.
The key to applying the information in Mark's book is to build it into a personal structure combined with variety.
The structure comes with how you slice and dice the tasks you know you should commit to do on a regular basis but seem to slip up on or procrastinate over at the expense of the time wasters - using the halving (or "binary") approach on a list of common tasks such as keyword checking, link exchange, link checks, article uploads, daily bookkeeping and site backups can be a revelation for those who have waded into creating a sea of sites and are now slowly drowning in the backroom tasks...
Other techniques such as the use of timed work sequences which gradually increase to accomodate the time the task requires without overrunning your day, allow you to introduce variety and an element of "game" into how you do your work (get a free online timer - I use an Egg timer from Sinner computing)
Even if you never get onto working thru your tasks according to the "resistance principles" that Mark introduces toward the end of the book, it is still a fantastic bargain at the price.
Of course there is always one-to-one coaching which can be even more effective but at a greater monetary cost.
A book written by someone who was a poor time manager
Many of the books about managing time seem to be written by systematic organized people who share their techniques, and the assumption is that you too can manage time if you follow their methods. Mark Forster started from the position that he was poor at managing his time. He analyzed what was going on, and recognized that the problem he had was about attention and about poor habits. He also noted that some of the most time-effective people he knew didn't use time management techniques at all. He created a series of training exercises, described in the book, which will help develop more effective habits. The book is personal, and describes the problems he had in learning his new methods in an interesting form. I'd recommend this book for anyone who wants to be more effective in getting things done.
Highly recommend!
This is just the best book! As a huge procrastinator, this book finally got me going. Pair this with his other book, "Do it tomorrow", and you should see marvelous results! Written by someone who understands how procrastinators think. Much better than "The Now Habit"- actually gives you tips and systems you can start using right away.
