One of the greatest challenges today is improving productivity and morale at the same time. This book provides practical tips on how to do that. The tips shared in Time! can help every employee find 10, 20 or even 90 minutes a day to invest more wisely.

Providing each person in your organization a copy of Time! is a great investment?. One employee wasting one hour a day could cost your organization $6,000 in productivity this year. This book will provide them the tools they need to make better choices with their time.

TOP TIPS TO GET MORE DONE IN LESS TIME

  1. Keep track of how you spend your time for two weeks. You may discover that you are investing time in things that are not important to achieving your goals.
  2. Think on paper. Writing things down minimizes confusion and stress.
  3. Control technology. Constantly checking e-mails can be a time-wasting addiction ... you do not go to your mailbox every 30 minutes, do you? Work your e-mails into your personal schedule and don’t let them control your day.
  4. Go to lunch at 11 am or 1 pm. Lunch at noon will conservatively cost you at least 15 minutes a day ... not a good investment.
  5. Continually ask yourself:What is the best use of my time right now?
