The Time Management blogs continue to deliver 90% tips, tricks and money-making scams and just 10% substance. Of course, you cannot expect to improve your effectiveness (real “time management”) incorporating a few tips and tricks.

 

AskTheManager.com editors scoured the blogs to find anything remotely associated with real time management (that is, improving effectiveness). Of course, we only had modest success.

 

We recommend that before you jump into the following mediocre and semi-mediocre posts, consider reading the best time management resource ever released: Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – this great book is also Number 1 on AskTheManager.com’s list of the Top Ten Leadership Books of All Time. To view this list, click here.

The editors of AskTheManager.com were astounded at how much crap is being passed off as Time Management Training on the Internet.

After much sifting, these are the best (as it were), scam free Time Management posts and articles we discovered over the past week. (Of course, most are just tips and tricks, and true time management is about changing your behaviors, not about employing life-organizing tricks.)

Time Management is More Than Tips and Tricks

Posted on by

Time management is more than just employing a few tips and tricks to help manage your day. As anyone who has tried to use time management tricks in the past knows, it doesn’t take long for you to fall back into your old routine.

 

Proper time management requires both a paradigm shift and new focus on your role and your goals. The best time management book ever written (and I hate to call it a “time management book”) is Stephen Covey’s First Things First, a follow-up to the best leadership book of all time: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

 

TheManager checked out this and other sources on Wikipedia to help you better manage your day and become a better leader:
