The Myth of Time Management: and the alternative solution

0/5 ( ratings)

If you want another book on Time Management then this is not for you. If you want an easier, more natural and personalised way of improving your time skills, efficiency and effectiveness, then read on. Dr. Jonathan Davies, an Executive Development Specialist who worked for one of the UK's top Management Colleges, wrote this is “an entirely novel solution based on what drives human nature”. He went on to say “In essence this isn't a quick fix that leads to only temporary success. It is a challenging and thought provoking read that offers a framework that can be tailored to your own personality preferences. And that is why it is so unusual and ground breaking. It allows you to step back and reconsider your approach and tailor it accordingly. So, fasten your safety belts for what may well be a transformative experience that could change your life!" Timelyness, the approach evolving from the book, is about making things simpler and making work fit the time you want to give it. It’s about you becoming a Time Leader or Time Maestro, conducting your life, as you want to, not how others want you to. The author spent 30 years in marketing before starting at the University of Portsmouth Business School in management training. This is where his 10 years of research on time management began. Part A of the book looks at the "myths" and takes you through an alternative view of time. Part B moves you from these myths to the reality of modern day work. Finally Part C takes you through a step-by-step process on the Path to Timelyness. Each chapter has been designed so you can read it in 20 minutes. Each chapter has activities at the end to help you embed the learning. You can also interact with the author at his website/blog or other social media platforms. The book is academic in its approach, a self-improvement training book by design and practical in its application. All research is fully referenced so you can explore it yourself. It contains numerous images and illustrations to support the writing and make it a pleasant read. www.timelyness .co.uk
