No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs: The Ultimate No Holds Barred Kick Butt Take No Prisoners Guide to Time Productivity and Sanity by Dan Kennedy is a must read for any entrepreneur looking to get ahead in business. Although it's written for entrepreneurs, this book can be applicable for anyone wanting to take control of their life and become more productive.
The author, Dan Kennedy, begins by teaching readers the importance of managing their time. He recognizes that entrepreneurs are constantly pulled in multiple directions, both personally and professionally, and it can be difficult to juggle everything without feeling overwhelmed. But with proper planning and organization, one can be productive and successful.
Kennedy then dives into the specifics of how to accomplish this. He suggests the concept of chunking, which is breaking down large tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks. This makes it easier to take on and finish tasks, as well as freeing up mental energy that would be spent worrying. Kennedy also suggests setting time limits on each task and sticking to them. This helps prevent procrastination and keeps a person on track to getting things done. Additionally, it keeps the person from getting lost in a task and forgetting the larger goal.
Kennedy then moves on to focus on the bigger picture and helps the reader to create an overall plan for time management. He emphasizes the importance of setting tangible goals and creating a clear timeline to achieve them. To make this easier, he recommends creating routines and planning out specific days or parts of the day that can be devoted solely to certain tasks. Additionally, he explains how to streamline tasks and cut out anything that's not necessary and guides readers to create an environment that supports productivity.
To ensure that the reader's productivity plan is truly successful, however, Kennedy goes beyond the basics and dives into the psychology of it all. He explains how to change thought patterns and behaviors to foster productivity, how to keep one's motivation going, how to manage stress, and how to create an overall system of balance.
While No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs by Dan Kennedy primarily targets those in business, the wisdom he shares can be applicable to anyone looking to manage their time in a more efficient manner. He covers both the practical and psychological aspects of time management and provides a clear plan of action to help anyone reclaim control of their time. With this book, readers have the tools to become more productive and achieve more success.
