Time Power

Brian Tracy brings more than 25 years of coaching and speaking experience to bear in this comprehensive 2007 productivity system, delivering hundreds of tools across goal-setting, procrastination, decision-making, and daily planning. The structure — 12 Proven Principles and 16 Ways to Overcome Procrastination — makes it easy to dip in and out rather than read straight through. Tracy's honest observation that wanting to be more efficient does not automatically make you more efficient is a useful corrective to the usual motivational framing. Publishers Weekly suggested picking techniques selectively rather than trying to implement everything at once, which is smart advice. A few visualization and mental-rehearsal exercises lean toward generic motivational territory that some readers will want to skip. As a productivity reference to return to over time, though, it earns its shelf space.
