Get More Done In Less Time EBook
I hope you enjoy the ebook and find it valuable.
Getting Started With The Book
A common challenge with a book like this is finding the time to read it. Let’s face it, if you had lots of free time, you probably wouldn’t be reading this book.
One principle that you’ll learn later in this book is that if you want to have time to do something important, hoping that you’ll “find” the time during your busy week is NOT going to work.
If you want to have time, then you must MAKE it.
What that means is that if you want to read this book and use it to become more productive and make positive changes in your life, you’re going to have to make time to do that.
A great technique is to simply make appointments with yourself to read the book and put what you learn into practice. It sounds very simple (and it is), but it’s also very powerful and greatly increases the chances that you’ll actually do it.
So go ahead and make a few appointments with yourself to continue reading this book. They could be 15 minutes long, 30 minutes or even an hour – it’s totally up to you. If an hour seems like too long for reading, then try 30 minutes.
If possible, try to make one appointment for today or tomorrow, and a few more later in the week so you can keep your momentum going. Go ahead and put a few of them in your schedule/calendar right now.
Treat these appointment as meetings with a very important person – YOU!
Truly make an effort and give them the priority they deserve.

I bet you haven’t heard this before but, uh …. I haven’t had time to look at it yet.
Dear Rodger,
This book is the best I found so far. I really did not know how much time I was wasting until I started auditing daily how I spend my time which learned from this book. Also, I could easily write this advice on AP software.
Thanks for the great book.
Have not had time to read it yet
Dear Rodger,
Thank you for your high quality of your tips for a better time management.
For several weeks I was writing you asking if we could be allowed to translate in French language, for a non-commercial purpose, your lessons?
We are a Association acting in the matter of Creactivity. Creativity assisted by computer. (improving the individual creactivity to reinforce the social link”.
I have myself been localizing in French a popular German Time Management software called TIME 6. In the meantime the owner of the company was going bankruptcy and we had to stop everything as we did not have aces to the sources codes.
Hote to get a positive answer to my message.
Kindly accept my warmest wishes for 2010, a year plenty of success !

For me, the time management principles in this book will surely assist me in doing things differently this year. I specifically like viewpoints of the Time Management Tower contrasted with the more integrated Goals To Action model. Great work, Rodger. Thanks for all you do.

I added a few tips on how to get started. Making appointments with yourself is very powerful because it creates an intention to read the book and gives you a specific time and place to do it.
The trick is to pick GOOD times for your appointment.
I have read this E-book and I’m now in between reading them again. It is clear that you have made very much research in this field, this book have and will change my whole life style, I read it every day, And I think from them all day long, I have to say In the effectiveness and power from this book more than the few word’s writhen here. Thanks to be the good messenger for changing my life.
Now reading.
It’s better then the AP manual or forum, ‘cos it gives your point of view and your experience in searching the best practice.
It’s a pity, that there is no version for pda, because there’s no time or possibility to read it from PC or in paperview. I save it as txt and read now as is.
Thank you very much.
Awesome piece!
I have not read it entire yet, but the half I have passed is so full of breaking insights.
I don’t better material on this theme on internet.
I honour you.
Hi Roger,
At the moment I only have a few hours weekly to read an implement what I’ve read. I’m using the book in conjunction with the Achieve Planner software.
I’m proud to say that because of your book, I planned an hour’s work early each morning before I had to leave for meetings etc and have succeeded in starting AND finishing a goal that I have been trying to do for the past 10 months.
I’m up to page 75 and will definitely read it again so I can take notes.
Now all I have to do (my next important goal) is to get my hubby to read it!
Thanks
