The complete time management system
Christian H. Godefroy and John Clark

This book aims to change the way you work and think. It explores the concept that time limits are internal rather than external pressure. "Once you learn to free yourself from conditioned responses - social and mental- you will discover that true time management is not self-control but self-freedom. You will have enough time to do everything you want - you will be more up-to-date, in control and able to work faster, more efficiently and more creatively. As a result, you will be more relaxed and have more time for leisure." The book contains practical training exercises, personal tests, checklists, ready-to-use forms, charts and diagrams.
