The Time Factory Report is one of the better books I have read on this topic and the reason for this lies in the way the author has made it real. She has used her own experiences of managing her time to show how to find time out of nowhere, as well as how to make the most of the time available to her. Aside from including a thorough rundown on the various methods available to effectively manage time, the author has also provided an inspirational account of how she has done it. This for me, is the critical factor in the quality of this book.Yes, the methods described are known, but The Time Factory Report is different in that it is about actively doing what it takes to make those methods work. The message is clearly about 'doing' and not just absorbing the information like a sponge. So for me, I found the book to be far more than just another presentation of information about how to manage your time. It was more about a demonstration of what could be achieved when you seriously move into 'doing' mode.I also liked the parts where being honest with yourself, particularly about evaluating your strengths and weaknesses, can have a major impact on how you can best use your time to greater advantage - and ditto for honestly making a list of things to stop doing.If you are an action taker, looking for an inspirational account of how to manage your time more effectively, I would highly recommend The Time Factory Report: How to Find Time When You Have No Time.
