Once upon a time I actually developed an online course on time management. I thought it was ironic as it's a topic I've always struggled with in my own work world. I think that's why I liked Michael's approach, which begins with setting intentions and goals. Goals we all have, but intentions  are something else entirely. Honestly, the whole idea of setting an intention made me think through my goals - and figure out WHY a goal even existed. In other words, what value is there for me to actually manage my time? Now that's something to think about!I also liked chunking the BIG field of time management into three easy principles of plan, organize and do. The examples of each stage helped me see my own gaps in how I schedule and how I don't always "do". The book also helped me see areas where I spend a lot of time "doing" - but it's not doing MY stuff.There are a zillion books out there on time management that go deep into systems, which I find overwhelming. That's why I like this more holistic approach. It fits much better into my life and how I do life.
