From the national bestselling author of Becoming Your Best, time management tools that help minimize distraction and maximize accomplishment. In researching more than 1, 260 managers and executives from more than 108 different organizations, Steve and Rob Shallenberger discovered that sixty-eight percent of them feel like their number one challenge is time management, yet eight percent don't have a clear process for how to prioritize their time.

By implementing these simple and easy-to-understand habits, you will learn how to lead a life by design, not by default. You'll feel the power that comes with a sense of control, direction, and purpose.
