Many people have an idea of what they would like out of their lives, but don't effectively work towards accomplishing it. They wander around their world aimlessly, wondering why they don't get what they want. You're just a dreamer unless you use your time to accomlish meaningful goals. This book covers effective goal setting and accomplishment.

It's all about habits.
Most good time management techniques run counter to personal habit patterns. To make progress, you have to look squarely at your own work habits and systems and be willing to improve them. Unlearning old habits and learning new ones is difficult - but essential. This book introduces powerful new work skills and techniques and shows you how to turn them into habits.

Accept personal responsibility.
It is particularly difficult for some people to accept the reality that they themselves are to blame for many of their time problems. Instead, we find it much easier to blame drop-in visitors, paperwork, telephone interruptions and crises of one form or another. This book enables you to take responsibility and shows you how to manage the people and things in your life that waste time.

Time Management is Self Management.
Time Management is not about time in the abstract; it's about what we can accomplish with time. We cannot manage our time, we can only manage ourselves in relation to time. We cannot control how much time we have, we can only control what we do with it. Time management is self management. It's not easy ... however it is worth the effort, for the benefits are profound. We have more time for family, reduced stress, improved personal productivity, and the realization of our goals. This book will help you make it happen.
