In 2004 Mark Forster was voted one of the UK's top ten life coaches. In Get Everything Done, Mark Forster shows us a way through the difficulties of time management. To get everything done you need to focus. You need to look beyond the immediate tasks, learn to say "no", sorting out the significant from the trivial. To help focus you efforts he suggests you work out a notional hourly rate of pay and evaluate every activity against its "cost".
As Mark Forster says, the main reason most people don't do things is disinclination, not lack of time. You must identify resistance and deal with it. Time must be made for calming, depth activities too. Mark Forster suggests ways of introducing exercise, yoga, meditation or journal writing into "the daily grind of clashing priorities" (without trying to do too many different things).
Some time management systems start by throwing complicated systems at you. Mark Forster starts by giving you the simplest, most powerful exercises to ease you into successful time management. For instance, the first exercise involves mental strength training. This challenges you to decide one challenging thing to do the next day without fail.
Mark Forster goes onto consider the main time management techniques that really help get everything done, and considers their advantages and limitations. These range from "do it now" to his full time-and-life management system. Mark realises that many time management systems fail because we have resistances to performing tasks. He uses a "short burst" method to reduce resistance and relates it to his own life so we can see it in action.
- Mark Forster's Get Everything Done and Still Have Time for Play gives you sound practical advice on time management. Make buying this the "one thing you are going to do the next day without fail".
