Time-Saving Tips for Teachers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You have other things to do, and should not have to re-create the wheel. There was much of my 25 years of teaching that was used in this way, and a book like this early on in my career would have helped me save literally hundreds of hours per year.
You should make sure that your library has this work, and it is made available to teachers. One hour with this book will literally pay you back with 100 hours of saved time.
This is an excellent resource, but as a secondary school teacher some of the material will NEVER apply to me. However, there were other items of interest that I should attend to, but do not. The book literally had shortcuts and efficiencies listed for things that I do not do, but should do. In this sense, this book was a very welcomed, and surprising resource.
Some of the reproducible masters were not completely consistent with my school, but they gave me ideas and a beginning. It did not take me long to whip up my own work, and I must confess that this book gave me the idea. Again, more efficiencies, and a savings of more time.
I would think that if you are an elementary school teacher, this work should apply to your everyday with even more applicability than mine. I need to discuss this with my sister, as she teaches elementary.
The mathematics of efficiency was something which I agreed with, and it hammered home the idea that there is a job, and it is certainly possible to get this done quickly.For perfectionists, the first chapter is for you, and I hope that the words will release you from your self-imposed prisons, and give you thousands of hours of your life back to you.
So many teachers are intensely motivated, and spend considerable time at their respective tasks. This book will quite literally give you more and more of your life back to you, and your family. It has taken me many years to discover this fact, and I do not want you to take a decade or two, arriving at this rather simple conclusion. This book will take you from that realization to the fullness of a life, coupled with the teaching.
Maybe you don't need to read every chapter, nor study it intently, but I assure you that with only one hour of inspection, you will save a ton ot time.

Achieving Objectives Made Easy Practical goal setting tools & proven time management techniques Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As I read this book, many of the techniques, strategies and ideas were very similar (if not the same) to techniques from other goal setting books, such as Hard Goals : The Secret to Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be by Mark Murphy and Goals!: How to Get Everything You Want -- Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible by Brian Tracy, such as visualizing, "finding your why" (different authors have different phrases for these), writing down your goals, etc.... I even found some techniques that were similar to The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Perhaps it was just coincidence.
Those aren't bad ideas, though from a personal standpoint, there were various instances in my life where I've actually tried most, if not all of these techniques and although it gave me something nice to fantasize about, in the end, usually, nothing ever came of it. On the other hand, there were instances where I didn't write anything down, but just went ahead and did it and achieved my goals faster than if I just wrote everything down on paper (I bet the trees were happier, too ;-)). Go figure. By the way... these weren't "small goals" either. This is why I was glad when the author mentioned that your goals must be reasonable. Most self help experts really beat that statement of "You can do whatever it is your heart desires." or "you can achieve anything you want" to death, which is why I was also glad when the author mentions how you should focus on your strengths. This is also something I mention in my practicalgoalachieving blog.
I also like how he mentions finding accountability partners and surrounding yourself with positive people (by the way... if you're at a loss as to where to find such people, you can go to the meetup website). I also want to mention that finding qualified mentors help also.
The section on time management was nice and he even gives a small section on how to deal with people. The "Yes but"/"Yes and" example was good and was also covered in How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Time management is something that is applicable to most life situations, not just business/work, so it would be nice for the author to give examples that are not work-related, since this book is also about goal setting and some people's goals are not work/ business related. For instance. If my goal is to lose, say, fifteen pounds, how can I apply time managment to that? Can I apply it to that situation?
Overall, this was a really educational and informative book. Personally, I don't know if I would use ALL the techniques he advocates. That doesn't someone else wouldn't and it certainly doesn't mean others won't find these techniques useful. To each their own. There were good ideas and some that are pretty commonplace in the personal development and goal setting area.

Time Management In an Instant: 60 Ways to Make the Most of Your Day (In an Instant (Career Press)) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This one was a mixed bag. On the one hand, a lot of tips brought together in one place; on the other, deeper concepts are not necessarily given the depth or context they're due if one is to really internalize them and change habits.
I wouldn't recommend it to someone who hasn't read Getting Things Done and some of the other most popular time management books - to whom these authors owe a debt of gratitude - but if you know enough to see who they're paraphrasing it's a useful aggregation of ideas. One particularly bad thing is that they did not include a bibliography pointing to those other sources. Some were cited in the text, but haphazardly (e.g. no mention of David Allen's Getting Things Done in tip 19 "Capture Your Open Items" which is practically an abstract of a chapter of his book).
