While it is not possible to create more time, by making use of the right time management tools and techniques, it IS possible to make huge improvements in your productivity-and as side benefits, a decrease in job stress and frustration and a greater sense of work satisfaction.This book shows how to apply powerful time management strategies so you can get more done, deliver the best service possible to your patrons, and enjoy being in an environment that fosters greater creativity and workplace satisfaction. Topics include time tracking, task management, identifying goals and priorities, beating the obstacles of procrastination and perfectionism as well as distractions and interruptions, and staying on top of time management when collaborating. Quotes and stories from individuals who work in libraries illustrate key points and concepts throughout the book. The final chapter explains how to set a personal plan for time management-using the awareness of your own patterns, obstacles, and goals, and the experience you have gained with various time management techniques and tools-to create your own unique time management strategy and make time management an ongoing, long-term priority.
