Once the tips start coming they pour out. This is also where my job becomes harder because whether you'll find them useful or not depends on what you've tried/read before. I'm a time management newbie so this review therefore comes with a caveat: what is new and exciting to me, may elicit jaded yawns from you.
I personally found it empowering in the way that the following three sections (discounting the first slightly less than helpful one), i.e. Part 2 ''Tools and Resources'', Part 3 ''Get Things Done'' and Part 4 ''Other People'', Robert leads us through a cornucopia of ideas. Ok some work better than others. For instance , in order for us to manage our day to the extent he suggests, we'll need bosses who allow us free rein over prioritising our own workload. I have such a manager but not everyone can get their hands on one that easily. (I'm willing to share but she may have other plans.)
However, he seems to think of most things: managing others (including our family members!), how to use the phone effectively, effective meetings, influencing others, right down to tips to ensure we're happy with our work stations. (Actually , he tells us to ''love'' our workstations but I translated that for any Brits reading this!)
So what do we have? A self-help book that promises to help us stop our procrastination and manage our time better which enthuses me but may not do the same for you and with a first section that may not enthuse anyone. Thank goodness for its accessible dip-in-friendly layout! At least you can go to a bookshop and flick through it to make up your own mind.
