Summary: The Best I've Read
Comment: I actually hold down 2 demanding jobs, as an air traffic controller and union representative. I share the union office with other people and I have limited time to get my administrative paperwork done. So I really needed advice that would be straightforward and useful. Ms. Schlenger's overview of time and space management styles, along with specific how-to's gave me what I needed to know, in a very readable format. I highly recommend this book to people who have to live or work with others who may have different preferences when it comes to getting organized. We can do things differently, and still get them done!

Summary: Excellent Organizational Tool!
Comment: This book is one of the best I have read on its subject. One of the things I liked best is that after reading the opening chapters, I could go to the two chapters that describe the time and space management styles that are unique to me. The tips found there are very helpful!

I recommend this book to all busy administrators who want to get a better handle on their time and space management skills. It's a quick read, and will easily pay for itself through the time and money saved. Great buy!

Summary: Easy to read, pretty simple ideas, but the impact is superb
Comment: .
IMHO, self-help books should make it easy for me to find and understand the meat, easy to get to the particular information that pertains to me, and ideally have solutions that are effective for me personally. The first two are true and time will prove/disprove the third.

1) You can skip lots - if you score low on the intro test, skip the rest of the chapter. I.e., I am a distracted (20), pack rat (20), cliff-hanger (20) who is alergic to details (15). I am too low on fence-sitting to bother with it. I am precise but I am not a "perfectionist plus." My desk is a total mess (so I am not a "right-angle" type) but I am not a "slob" - my messiness comes from other sources. [I was able to skip half the pages! Hooray!]

2) The suggested cures are not esoteric (and shouldn't be). In my case I should use hourly chimes (help me notice time passing), break projects into mini-goals, create a daily plan, handle my magazine/book "to do" pile better, improve my time estimating, improve prioritizing, and have someone yell STOP at me occassionally.

3) Nothing really new, but you can see how I could identify the specific targets to focus on more effectively than if I had to just go down a list that included cures for risk-avoidance, for example.

THE BIG Q: Will it work? Will I adopt these practices? Will I keep them up?
OOPS - this isn't the "Whacko Ego Tripping" bulletin board...

If you are reading this, you should get the book, spend an hour, and then decide if it works for you. If YES, spend another couple of hours and emerge with a "To Do" and a "How To Do" list. It sure is a bargain.
