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.
