Motivující čtivo do mhd, ve kterém zaznívají zajímavé myšlenky a čtenář dostává rovnou několik návrhů na vytváření všemožných seznamů s úkoly. Jen by knížka mohla být kratší, myšlenky se hodně opakovaly..

Odnáším si poučení o podstatnosti uzavřených seznamů, které jsem už zařadila a moc si jich cením!

„V ideálním případě byste měli zařadit veškerou práci do této kategorie (zítra). Proč je to tak důležité? Protože položky v kategorii zítra si můžete naplánovat. Víte o nich už v okamžiku, kdy si sestavujete denní plán.“

“To complain about a shortage of time is like a fish in the sea complaining that it has a shortage of water.” This is how Mark Foster starts his book. He explains how you can work with much less stress. He will learn you what you can do to organize your work better and how to deal with interruptions.
This book is very instructive because it not only explains what time management is exactly but there are also exercises in the book. You can apply these exercises to your own life. By reading this book you will easily achieve your goals within the deadlines.

Some ideas were great like the current initiative and do that first thing in the day. The other bits I found repetitive and non useful in a regular working day. Many emails do need to be answered straight away, and cannot be ignored until tomorrow or even later in the day. Found the book repetitive without explaining what the benefit was in performing many of the tricks he espouses.

Poor tips. Quick solution: JUST PULL THE F*CKIN' TRIGGER.

Excellent book. Deceptive title. It's all about deciding what to do and not letting daily distractions stop you from doing what you've decided to do.

Another book of the same author on this topic is much much better. This does not have any new ideas worth to read.
