Writers Need Time Management about as Much as Anybody!

Usually a I reserve book reviews for my The New Book Review blog.

Unless they are reviews of books about writing or book promotion.

Or unless I think it is a book that can help writers with their careers.

Guess, that's part of the fun. Especially for those of us with journalism backgrounds where out editors called the shots. With blogs, we all get to do pretty much what we feel like doing. With our readers in mind, of course. (-:

Time Management In An Instant: 60 Ways to Make the Most of Your Day by Karen Leland and Keith Bailey is a book made for today’s hurly-burly work environment. Many writers--even those who work at home--find it challenging to avoid distraction, stay focused, use their time and energy to maximum benefit, and gain ground on important goals and outcomes. One study by the Families and Work Institute found that one-third of Americans are overworked and more than 50 percent of those surveyed say they are either doing too many tasks at the same time or are frequently interrupted during the workday – or both. In short, we are overloaded!

Time Management In An Instant helps the reader to overcome this feeling of overload and avoid the traps that lead to an unproductive relationship with time. It offers field-tested time habits and expert advice based on the latest research that will help the reader better manage, create and spend their time with more satisfaction and results.

Successful authors are often asked about their process. When do you write? How do you keep from being distracted. A question they often ask me is how I make time for both promotion and writing. These questions are all good but each of use is made of different stuff. What works for me or for Stephen King may not work for others. This book tackles the problem with essentials that you can apply to your individual situations.

Go for it!
