Time Management is More Than Tips and Tricks

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.

Here are the Top 5 on the list for June 2008. To see the complete list (and to see a great choice at #15) follow this link.

 

At number 15 this month is a great read from Marshall Goldsmith called What Got You Here Won’t Get You There – How Successful People Become Even More Successful! I highly recommend it. This book will show you twenty workplace habits that you need to break in order to reach the highest rungs on the ladder.

 

Of course, number 1 on the list, The One Minute Entrepreneur, by Ken Blanchard et al, is a quick and useful tome from the guy who brought us one of the greatest leadership books of all time: The One Minute Manager.
