Time Management for the Creative Person: Right-Brain Strategies for Stopping Procrastination, Getting Control of the Clock and Calendar, and Freeing Up Your Time and Your Life
Silber's goal is to create positive and lasting change by helping us organize ourselves so that we can be more, and not do more, through effective time management. Each side of our brain processes information differently, and although he stresses that there is a lot of overlap, the dominant side will be reflected in our behavior. Creativity stems from the way we see things: left-brain persons characteristically are linear thinkers who are logical, verbal, and critical. Right-brain people tend to be artistic, intuitive, illogical, and persuasive. The author helps us identify our dominant brain and then offers a series of stand-alone chapters on topics such as how to focus on more than one thing at a time, dealing with a tendency to be late, hundreds of time-saving tips, and how to improve memory. He urges us to set strict goals for ourselves by writing them down and referring to them frequently until they have been achieved.Mary Whaley
