Stress management expert Lucy MacDonald makes planning, organization, and self-discipline possible for just about anyone with warm, encouraging text and simple step-by-step exercises.

Readers will tackle tough problems head on, whether it's taking control of email and paperwork, or mastering the all-important skill of just saying "no." Innovative suggestions to fight procrastination, "hurry sickness," and perfectionism get to the heart of why we don't have as much time as we'd like. Sections focused on parenting, the office, and unstructured time offer customized solutions. Packed with smart tips that can be put to immediate use, Learn to Manage Your Time is a time management tool that really works.

This self-help book on managing your time had several good tips but it was too focused on work management rather than personal time that I did not find it very helpful for myself.
