    how about read the below information :
    When you are facing time management challenges, it may be hard to find time to read books or attend time management seminars. But don't give up.
    Instead, think of how much time you spend commuting or driving. When you are driving, do you listen to music or the radio? Do you have an ipod you could use during your commute?
    If you manage to listen to anything, you could as well, and as easily, listen to personal growth audiobooks, including time management lessons or other inspiring self improvement tapes or CDs. Just keep them on. Not only will you learn, but you will also feel energized after being in a company of those inspiring speakers.
    Time management advice is not to difficult to comprehend. It typically does not require intense thinking or research to understand. What is much more important is how much those time management principles and techniques become a part of you, how deeply they penetrate into your mind. This is why learning in small bits over an extended period of time, with each of those bits repeated a few times, will beat the effect of any intense time management seminar.
    Listening to educational audiobooks in your car seems to be a small change in your habits. Yet, those ten minute pieces will add up fast. Over a few months you will have a dozen of books deeply imprinted in your mind. The words of wisdom from the time management speaker will become a part of your inner voice. If you keep doing this over those months, even without any books or time management seminars, you will be much more ahead in your time management than 90 to 95 percent of people around you.
    For optimal learning, it is generally recommended, and my personal experience support that, that you come back to the same audiobook for at least 5 times.
    Finally, take a few minutes to think: Are there any other chunks of time during your daily or weekly activities when you could put on an ipod or cd player and listen to self-improvement tapes?

    I think time management is important for anyone starting out in IM, you can spend lots of time doing things which are not so useful, yet time is money. I agree with Saicou, attending seminars is also good because you interact with others face to face, but requires time, audiobooks and books are my preference and I think incorporating what you read and hear into your daily life is what will make all the difference in the long run.

      Hi heartdragon,

      I would whole-heartedly recommend Simpleology. The 101 course, which is about goal-setting and organisation, is completely free on sign-up and has definitely improved my time management skills enormously.

    I recommend "Getting things done" by David Allen as well as Brian Tracy's "Eat that frog: 21 Ways to stop Procrastination and get More Done in Less Time".

    I personally haven't read those 2 books but I've encountered a lot of positive reviews. Its definitely on my list to "personality development" to-Read books

    Cheers,

    Gie

    I wouldn't recommend the 4 hours work week as a time management book.

    However, what I would recommend you does not require you to buy anything unless you don't already have a pen and paper. But you can always use the computer (ie Excel).

    The secret of time management? First, identify where your time leaks are. Set up an excel sheet or just use a piece of paper and log what you do every 30 minutes or 1 hour. It may seem time consuming, but you can actually find if you have any time leaks.

    How to Master Your Time by Brian Tracy

    An absolute must imo. I have it, its fantastic. I've had it a while, only recently started listening to it properly, but slowly....i can see a change already.

    This is the only time management course that has ever actually worked for me - there's just something about Brian Tracy and how he does things, that helps you understand so very easily how to do it

    When I took one of the best productive training called Wake Up Productive by Eben Pagan, the very first thing he tells you, and I think it makes a lot of sense, is you don't have to learn to manage your time. No matter what you do, you will not gain any amount of time. What you need to learn is how to manage yourself.

    When you take that perspective, you can easily understand you need to understand and be aware how you work, what is your current pattern and how you can change them.

    People tend to think they NEED someone to tell them exactly what to do. However, the path is right under your nose: yourself. Coach are only a way to speed the process when you are lost in the path.

    you need to strain your priorities and needs down. Once done, arrange them and share time as needed. Then, you list them priority wise. A timetable will come in the end.

    I use to struggle with Time management myself and then I got ahold of Brian Tracy's How To Master Your Time mp3 audio as well as Time Management and the Luck Factor.

    All of the mp3 audios have changed my life dramatically so they could probably do the same for you if you listen intently and structure your life around Brian's valuable ideas.

    Also, in case you have a hard time getting ahold of those mp3s I could always pm you a free pdf download of a Time Management Ebook I received as a gift. Perhaps that could help you out, good luck.

    Tim Ferriss' Four Hour Workweek is about structuring your "stuff to do" in such a way that you have less of it because you have virtual assistants doing it for you. It's not "Time Management" it's "Time Clearing", though it's a great book.

    David Allen's Getting Things Done is great if your "stuff to do" is easy to break down into small chunks of work.

    Leo Babauta's "Zen to Done" is an even simpler version of GTD that works better when your projects are a bit more freeform.

    Some combination of all of the above is probably worthwhile.

      Hi!

      If procrastination is part of the challenge you have with Time Management... then I can help with that.

      I struggled with procrastination for many years... I loved the beginning part of projects. So starting was never a problem for me. But getting a project across the finish line definitely was. Too often, I would put a project on the backburner when I hit a roadblock that I couldn't figure out.
      Eventually, I decided to focus on figuring out how to solve my problem.
      I ended up writing a short eBook about what I found... that's really helped me.

      The Procrastinator's Manifesto by Bolaji O

      It's free. I hope it helps!

      Bolaji.

    I'm getting started with this, from robinsharma.com


    17 tactics to double your productivity in 30 days!

    1. Turn off all technology for 60 minutes a day and focus on doing your most important work.

    2. Work in 90 minute cycles
    (tons of science is now confirming that this is the optimal work to rest ratio).

    3. Start your day with at least 30 minutes of exercise.

    4. Don't check your email first thing in the morning.

    5. Turn all your electronic notifications off.

    6. Take one day a week as a complete recovery day, to refuel and regenerate (that means no email, no phone calls and zero work). You need full recovery one day a week otherwise you'll start depleting your capabilities.

    7. The data says workers are interrupted every 11 minutes. Distractions destroy productivity. Learn to protect your time and say no to interruptions.

    8. Schedule every day of your week every Sunday morning. A plan relieves you of the torment of choice (said novelist Saul Bellow). It restores focus and provides energy.

    9. Work in blocks of time. Creative geniuses all had 2 things in common: when they worked they were fully engaged and when they worked, they worked with this deep concentration for long periods of time. Rare in this world of entrepreneurs who can't sit still.

    10. Drink a liter of water early every morning. We wake up dehydrated. The most precious asset of an entrepreneur isn't time - it's energy. Water restores it.

    11. Don't answer your phone every time it rings.

    12. Invest in your professional development so you bring more value to the hours you work.

    13. Avoid gossip and time vampires.

    14. Touch paper just once.

    15. Keep a "Stop Doing List".

    16. Get up at 5 am.

    17. Have meetings standing up.

    =================================

    I think it works!
