Give me a break by Hugh Culver

This is a must read for anyone who wants to manage their time!

Part I- “It’s about time” is about getting real about where your time is spent.

Part II-“Systems” planning, interruptions, meetings, email, clutter.

Part III- “Habits”

Part IV- “This is the time”

There are worksheets to help you along your journey to manage your time.

I learned how to read faster by choosing a quiet place, be awake, committed to it
Read the Table of Contents
Read the fist paragraph, subheadings the last paragraph
Read with device to move your fingers along quicker down the page
Skip words that are common

You are the master of your time and not a victim of other people’s agenda.

Busyness keeps you away from being present in the moment.

This is a thought provoking book that needs to be soaked up like a sponge especially is you procrastinate. The website gives free worksheets to print out too! Let me know if you like it, I did.
