Real-World Time Management
A short book that could still be shorter.This is clearly aimed at someone who is not me. Someone who is white (check), male, capitalist, has an assistant, is scared of technology, likes people, and wants to succeed in middle-management. Nevertheless, it has some time management techniques I find useful, or hope to find useful, namely:
(1) Make to do lists
(2) Update your to do lists daily
(3) Organize your to do list by priority and urgency
(4) Do one task until it's complete, then proceed to the next one.
(5) If you do the easiest but least urgent tasks first, you will never get around to the important ones.
(6) Aim to deal with each piece of paper (and email message) once
(7) Throw out what you don't need
This is all very basic, but I needed the reminders.
