Product Description
From Amazon
Since it was first published, The Time Trap, by internationally known authority Alec Mackenzie, has indeed become The Classic Book on Time Management, as proclaimed in its subtitle. Based on the theory that self-management is the key to handling the time crunch that we all face, it focuses primarily on Mackenzie's 20 biggest time wasters, such as telephone interruptions, the inability to say "no," and personal disorganization, and offers clear step-by-step ways to combat them. The updated third edition also includes information on time problems caused by technology, downsizing, and self-employment.

Good, but seems to stress technics for manager or higher,
By
This review is from: The Time Trap: The Classic Book on Time Management (Paperback)
Good book but alot of the technics and examples seems to be for managers or higher. I'm just a regular salary guy that is trying to optimize my time at home and work. I am not a manager that have 10 people under me. So I found it hard to relate sometimes. But it does have some sound general time management advice.This book could probably be titled, "Time Trap for Managers." I would recommend "How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life" by Alan Lakein for a starter time management book. And probably all you need too.

Lots of good suggestions...,

...for using your time more efficiently, IF you're an executive. If you're an overworked secretary, administrative assistant or office manager, it's not so helpful. Who are they supposed to delegate to?

Very practical and effective advice.,
By Mike (CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Time Trap: The Classic Book on Time Management (Paperback)
Draws from Alan Lakein's book on managing time, but contains some very good practical methods to help you identify where you waste your time and how to keep on track doing your top priorities. Also contains some simple and effective advice for dealing with interruptions as well. Well worth reading.
