Time is a funny thing. If you stay healthy, you can tack some time on to the end of your life. You can add more days, but you cannot add more time to a day. A second is a second; a minute is a minute; an hour is an hour. Time is about the only resource you are given that is finite. When it is gone, there is no more. Doesn't it make sense to use your time wisely?In Taking Charge, Eric Skopec and Laree Kiely go beyond the ”how-to-get-more-done-at-work” orientation of most time management books. You will lean to set goals for all areas of your life—professional development, personal development, finances, social activities, community service, and relaxation—and then learn to spend time on activities that are consistent with those goals. The authors' ”tricks of the trade” offer time-saving techniques you can use immediately, and their insights will let you actually find time each day you didn't realize you had by: re-examining activities that have become habit making more effective use of other people's time—at home as well as on the job identifying and eliminating your sources of stress using productivity management tools that are most appropriate for your work- and lifestyles To help find the tools that are right for you, the authors have compiled the most important time management tools on the market—Hewlett-Packard's HP 95LX Palmtop computer, Day Timers brand schedule books, and PC Tools Deluxe software, for example—rated according to their abilities, effectiveness, and universal usefulness.Getting ahead has never been easy. Today just keeping up is getting harder and harder. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your responsibilities, this book is for you. Taking Charge was written to help you balance your busy professional and personal life. This balancing act is, without a doubt, a major challenge for most people. Taking Charge was developed to give you the edge.
