Time Strategies of Very Successful People

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/5m00O)
I am just finishing up listening to my cassette set of Time Strategies of Very Successful People by B. Eugene Griessman.  This cassette series is a little dated, I would say personal computers were fairly new at the time, no smart phones, or ipods, etc.  Regardless of the fact it's a little dated, I am still getting a lot of great ideas on time management, time savings, time investments, and how not to waste time.  I cover a lot of these concepts at my blog on www.RonOrr.com.  What I like about this tape set is that is gives you hundreds of ideas how to save a few minutes here and there and make the right decisions. It talks a lot about time wasting activities, and then how to save that time the next time you do that activity. I do also like how most concepts relate to the average person.  I bought this tape set on ebay, but I would recommend you try ebay, or amazon to see if you can buy it.  You don't want to just trade your hours for dollars, you want to make sure you are investing and leveraging your time correctly.

This is a 6 tape audio set, each side of each tape is about 40-45 minutes each.  Alot of the concepts in this series are focused on a business life, a strong emphasis on that.  It's important for us to all realize we have 86,400 seconds per day, 24 hours per day.  The question comes up on how we use our time every day.   Here are some bullet points on the inside cover.  4 great ways to avoid time-wasting activities... and people.   Helpful techniques for planning ahead.   How to balance work, family, and social life.   The importance of making "appointments" with yourself.

A concept that this tape series isn't able to get into that much is how technology will really leverage and widen the gap of how some people will maximize their time over others. This tape set starts to get into this, but much of today's technology wasn't invented yet.  There are still many people that don't use technology, so technology is one concept that help you get very far ahead of others.  This tape set talks about making the most of down time.  This tape set does talk about keeping your time focused on a well-balanced life.  Another concept is prioritizing what it is you do, what's most important and why.  This tape is about valuing your time.  This author has another Time Tactics of Very Successful People Eugene Griessman on ebay.
