Time Management Mastery: Getting Stuff Done On Your Checklist and Loving the Process

by Greg Host

Time Management Mastery is exactly what it sounds like. It's a short read that can take you from a master procrastinator who struggles to get of bed to get to the office to do the same work every day being constantly stressed out as you feel like time is being sucked out of your life and that you're not going to be able to achieve the things you want. To taking you to waking up and kicking todays butt and feeling stress-free. You may have stopped yourself and thought "Why's it such a short read? Why don't I just go out and buy a 200-page book about the same topic because surely it has to be better" No. Time Management Mastery was written to be short, Why? Because your busy, I'm busy this book is about TIME MANAGEMENT it wouldn't be holding up to its name if I made you sit down and spend hours reading the same material that can be condensed into a book that can be read in a quarter of the time.

Making lists and ticking off items has been a part of my life since I can remember but lately I have become a real expert at procrastinating. So my lists grow longer and the red lines across finished items are fewer and fewer. I tell myself that I am too ambitious but the truth is, I waste a lot of time and get distracted easily. I put off reading this book for several weeks … I could never find the time. Finally it came up in my rotation once again and I decided to read it.

I spent a good half hour nodding my head and generally agreeing with everything Greg Host has to say. Especially the bit about time management being easy to understand but challenging to implement. I can vouch for that! The book did not revolutionize my life but did point out exactly where my problems originate and, yes, I took away something useful from it, which I am trying to apply. Today I ticked something off one of my lists, and I hope to make it a habit.

I liked the fact that the book was so short. It makes sense that a guide on Time Management shouldn't waste more of the time we have so much trouble finding. So in six short chapters, the author covers the subject fully and convincingly. The writing style is very accessible, only a couple of minor typos or grammar issues, and the advice given is golden. Now it's up to me to actually apply it to my life and make if work.

One of the keys to success in any endeavor is learning to effectively manage time. There are a finite number of hours in each day, and if you fail to adequately manage them, more tasks than hours to get them done. Time Management Mastery by Greg Host is a short book that offers some sage advice for learning how to make the most of the time available to you; learning how to distinguish between tasks that are important (but not time-bound) and those that are urgent (must be done or the consequences are dire).
The author offers nothing that can’t be found in thousands of other pages of books on management, but he does it in a brief, easy-to-read and easy-to-understand form that fits the theme of the book. After all, if an author is going to talk about getting things done in the shortest amount of time possible, the credibility is suspect if it takes hundreds of pages to do it.
A useful book for those who feel there just aren’t enough hours in the day.
