Time Management Blogwatch – September 15, 2008
We not only had a pretty good week on the time management blogs (as you’ll note by our selections below), but we also read one of the better time management books ever written.
While not the best time management book ever (that crown still rests with Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People) Timothy Ferriss’ The 4-Hour Workweek contains some great advice that helps you get the most out of every hour.
While the reviews made this book sound like the latest self-help drivel, we were intrigued that it had some staying power on the New York Times Best Sellers list, so we read it and we were amazed at how much we got from the concepts discussed in this book.
We think this leaves our readers with a choice, you can continue to read our semi-regular blogwatch covering Time Management topics, or you can read these two great books and apply the teachings to your life. Your choice, but we think reading two books once beats reading all of these blogs every week. (It’s just good time management in our opinion.)
Although most of the good Time Management blogs entries this week still focus too much on tips and tricks, some of the tips suggested are actually quite good and have a chance of having a positive impact on someone truly committed to becoming a more effective leader. Enjoy!
