Time Basics
Jim Muncy has spent years learning what people need for success. When
his department head at the university where he teaches asked him to
develop a class that would really help prepare students for the business
world, Dr. Muncy knew exactly what it would be. “The biggest challenge our
students face as they enter the business world is time management” Dr.
Muncy explains. “Unless they quickly master the basics of time management,
they will find themselves falling further and further behind in their
careers. It can get worse. Soon they will start families and take on other
responsibilities. They can quickly become buried unless they learn to
balance all the demands on their time.”
Dr. Muncy explains how his approach to teaching time management
evolved over the years. “Originally, I took the same approach you will find in
most time management books. I focused on technique. Then I learned that
people weren’t experiencing time challenges because they didn’t have
good time management systems. The problem was more basic than that.
They never learned the basics of time management.” Once his students
learned the time basics, they started making huge improvements in how
they managed their time. Dr. Muncy goes on to explain, “It is like we try to
teach people calculus before they learn basic math.” When he started
teaching the time basics, that’s when he started seeing major changes in
the lives of his students.
In this book, Dr. Muncy gives you the information that has impacted so
many people who have heard him speak or taken his class. He keeps time
management very simple. He presents the basics in an easy to understand
manner. At the same time, these basics have a profound impact on those
who learn them. Time Basics is a must read for those who wish to get better
control of their time so as to live a fuller life. Through learning the basics,
anyone can make time their servant and not their master.

The best book I have read in the recent times. Every body wants to achieve success in life and yet only few are able to do so. This book has clearly explained what time management has to offer us if we are humble enough to follow it religiously day in and day out.Worth reading it more number of times!! Definitely recommended for all those people who are hungry for getting things done and are looking for the right tool.

Ένα από τα καλύτερα βιβλία διαχείρισης χρόνου και αύξησης ατομικής παραγωγικότητας που έχω διαβάσει. Και έχω διαβάσει πολλά! Αμέτρητες εξαιρετικές συμβουλές, ωραία παραδείγματα, πολύ καλογραμμένο και ευανάγνωστο. Βιβλίο αναφοράς για να το διαβάζεις ξανά και ξανά και να γίνεσαι όλο και καλύτερος στην εκμετάλλευση του χρόνου σου. Διαμάντι!

I could say it was one of the books you wish to be maximum 50 pages, it was good at the beginning and after a while it gets sooooo boring that i though many times to stop reading it in order not to waste my time...
