From the onset, Time Management from the Inside Out identifies time as a tangible thing with boundaries and borders. Readers are introduced to the errors and psychological obstacles of time management, and then provided with the tools for effectively managing the hours in their day.
Defining time as an a mathematical equation, Ms. Morgenstern states the problem and then provides the solution using her 5-step SPACE system of organizing. As she explains in her introduction, "each day is simply a container, a storage unit that has a definite capacity you can reach".
The author has taken the mystery out of time management, giving us the tools we need to effectively overcome our procrastination, perfectionism, and the inability to delegate. Don't put off getting organized another day!
(From quoting D. Williams, USA)
Target readers:
Executives, managers, professionals, government and nonprofit leaders and workers, entrepreneurs and MBAs.

Best-selling author of Organizing from the Inside Out, Morgenstern takes a similarly practical approach to time. If one thinks of time has having "edges" (rather than being amorphous), she explains, then it becomes as finite as spaceDand, consequently, just as manageable. Morgenstern believes that there are three primary reasons why people have difficulty managing time: "technical errors" (miscalculating the length of a task); "external realities" (new baby, new job) and "psychological obstacles" (perfectionism). What makes her program work, she attests, is that instead of trying to change people's natural behaviors and preferences, she encourages them to expand upon whatever is working already, no matter how overwhelmed they may feel. It all starts with knowing what one's big picture values and goals are (e.g., maintaining a happy marriage, excelling at one's career) and prioritizing those with the help of an ingenious device she's created called a "Time Map." Then, Morgenstern helps the reader apply her "SPACE" system ("sort, purge, assign a 'home,' containerize and equalize")Dthe nitty-gritty of time managementDto align one's to-do list with the Time Map. Everything one does (from important phone calls to major projects) must have its time and placeDeven relaxation and fun ("There is no such thing as spare time"). Morgenstern's simple book presents a superb, sound program for "creating a life that nurtures you and makes you feel good." (Sept.)

closet or house with limited space – and allocate the activities we value most into the best cubby holes. The ideas and principles here are fantastic and make sense right away. And the most valuable of these is her core message that no time management system will work for long if it doesn't respect the user's personal emotional style and preferred behavior patterns. She promotes flexibility and reasonable dedication to a plan, rather than trying to jam every person into the same perfect but unworkable system. And as for the reading, Morgenstern would be a joy to hear reading anything. T.W. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine |
