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

I tied to download it bt can’t find it o my pc…so I haven’t had a chance to try it
indeed a good book for life time reference
for my profession (doctor) planner look bit complex consuming time
Hi Roger,
Nothing ever seems to be straight forward when downloading. I never seem able to get all my ducks in a row before I start the process and end up searching for the required numbers etc. However, I finally made it! I always seem to feel intimidated.
Since I have reveiwed the content I have been most impressed with the way the information has been presented. I find it easier to print out the information rather than reading from the screen. Of course, the black ink started to run out in the process of printing. To get more done, I purchased more ink and finished the job!
I now have the information in a permanent folder for reference. I look forward to the time that I can implement it’s teaching. Will let you know how I get on.
It was somewhat challenging at first but because I have longer days, I really have a chance to go back and look at it but when I do, I’ll be sure to let you know.
I realized that I needed to take the time to print it out on 3-hole-punch paper and put it in a binder so that it would be easier to read it. I would recommend this to those of you who are having trouble getting around to reading it.
There are so many free resources available on the internet that it’s hard to know which one to make time to read. This one is worth the time and effort! I haven’t finished it, but I’m finding it helpful in learning to use Achieve Planner and in learning time management.

So far, so good.
Best of the best!

Hello Rodger, I enjoyed the book but I wanted to be able to use the Achieve Planner on a trail basis before I order it. However I downloaded it and I’m not able to use it.

Best,

i was not able to access it, but i will like to thank you for the others they are quite helpful
thank you but i was not able to access it
I think Get More Done In Less Time is a great book and everyone can get a lot from it. But if you really want to transform you life you must deepen into the subject. I bought all Rodger’s trainings (Set and Achieve Goal, Effective Time Maanagement, Get Focused, Magic of Habit and Overcome Procrastination) two weeks ago. I’m spending every day two hours (in the morning before go to work) in reading and action plan development. Rodger gave me a guidelines how to get more from the courses and I strictly follow his recommendations. For this short period of time I can say that I’m more than satisfied. I’m using most of time management tools the last couple of years and now I’m starting to find the missing pieces of high achievement puzzel. If you really care how you use your time and what to achieve more I strongly recommend to buy the forego courses. They will give you the whole picture and if you develop a practical action plan to implement the knowledge I’m sure you will be amazed from the results. When I go throught some course section I develop a step by step actin plan (simple doc files) based on the presentedideas. After that I apply it immediately. If I forget s.th. it’s so easy to open the file and review it. For the last two weeks I increased my productivity at least with 20% and my head is full of ideas for further improvements. I’m sure that in 2-3 months I willl be a top high achiever. I also using Achieve Planner rom quite some time and just now i get the real value of the software. I’m not Rodger’s friend and don’t try to sell his product. I decided to send this post to help all of you get what you what from life. I found the right way and this courses are one of my best investment. Don’t waste time to find your answers by yourself because you can earn money but you will never have you today again. I’m 28 years old, have my own company and can say that I’m a wealthy guy. I started my business four years ago and the key for my success is learning from the experts. If I want something I found the right guy to get what I’m looking for as quick as possible. My advice is to focus on your life purpose and let other guys help you get there. Maybe your dream life is a couple of hundreds $ away from you. I will write it again; I’m not here to sell anything. I wish you all the best and good luck.
until now it’s been quite usefull. i’m trying to manage time to a complete reading. congratulations.
