FEATURED BOOK |
Time Tactics of Very Successful People
Real Nuts & Bolts Time Management
Reviewer: Thomas F. Garner from Cobleskill, NY USA
This fine book stands alone as a real nuts & bolts guide to time management. Refreshingly, Griessman does not ask the reader to buy into an integrated or even singular System of managing your time. There are no self tests, no 12 Step program, no gimmicks.
Quite simply, this book is about survival. If your boat were sinking or you were lost in the wilderness, the last thing you would want (or have time to read) would be a lengthy treatise on the theory of bouyancy or how people get lost. Rather, Griessman instructs from the outset that you Learn survival techniques from the survivors.
In this vein, Griessman's approach is decidedly simple: 1)These are successful people; 2) Here are specific tactics that they use to save time and survive; 3) You fill in the blank. This format is woven into 15 short chapters with an accompanying commentary which is almost editorial in nature. This provides just enough cohesion in the book to give it structure, without detracting from its readability.
If you're looking for a lengthy treatise on time management, riddled with charts, self tests and lengthy explanations about why you don't have enough time, then leave this book on the shelf. Time Tactics is really a field manual - the same kind of lean, to the point writing you'd hope to find in a life raft.
