Positive words for MoreTimeforYou
‘‘
More Time for You
offers a powerful and practical system that anyone can apply
in their lives for immediate results.’’—Jackie Glenn , Chief Diversity Officer and
Senior Director of Human Resources, EMC Corporation
‘‘The principles and practices in
More Time for You
have enabled and inspired
our global sales team to produce results far beyond expectations, as we look
forward to even greater performance and productivity.’’—Ray Hollinger, Direc-
tor, Sales Development, IHS, Inc.
‘‘
More Time for You
has given me a much needed breath of fresh air. As a man-
ager, I knew how to organize at work but was not very effective at balancing my
day-to-day life. The techniques and systems the authors share in this book have
helped me see that I have the power to get it all done as well as have the time
to enjoy life! And these tools are very easy to implement. I wish I could have
read it sooner!’’—Marla Dillard-Lemons, Quality Systems Manager, Ford Motor
Company
‘‘The practices in
More Time for You
have been eagerly embraced by our busy
corporate and field-based employees looking for new ways to be productive and
focused in both their work and home lives. One of the things our employees
found most helpful was learning the habit of capturing everything in one place.
For many people the impact was immediate! They were released from the anxi-
ety of worrying about all the things they had to do—wherever they were cur-
rently being stored. After implementing this practice, people reported sleeping
better, taking more time for exercise, and generally feeling more in control of
their lives.’’—Helen Zarba, Director, Education and Training, Bright Horizons
Family Solutions LLC
‘‘When Rosemary and Alesia tried to convince me to consider a new approach
to managing tasks and time, I was dubious at best. I am grateful they were so
persistent, because their approach has changed my life. I now have peace of
mind knowing that my priorities have a place on my calendar, and I need no
longer worry about what I might be forgetting to do!’’—Elaine Gentile, Leader-
ship & Organization Development Manager, Iron Mountain, Inc.
‘‘Trying to get more done in less time is a challenge we are all facing during
these times. Finally—a practical guide that provides readers with a clear road-
map toward increased efficiency. This book will change your life.’’—Mike Hyter,
President and Managing Partner, Global Novations
‘‘A man I admire was once described by one of his peers as a consummate old-
school gentleman, ‘having time for me at the drop of a hat—he is never hurried,
always patient, always willing to listen, and never unavailable.’
More Time for
You
is a book that captures relatively easy tools that allow us to be patient,
attentive, and available in our lives—on the job, to our loved ones, and in our
communities. It embraces today’s technology to create room for each of us to
live old-school lives.—Stuart Fross, Partner, K&L Gates, LLP
‘‘With a one-hour commute, two brands to manage, a daughter in college on the
East Coast, a son in high school on the West Coast, and a wife who signed up for
more companionship than I could give, I was spread too thin. I had all the tools
but lacked the system to put them to work.
More Time for You
has restored my
quality of life. The techniques and tips for achieving greater organization, produc-
tivity, and order in life are simple, understandable, and easy to implement.’’—Pete
Worley, Brand President, Teva and Simple Shoes, Deckers Outdoor Corporation
‘‘The African Proverb ‘For tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it
today’ captures the thoughtfulness and brilliance in
More Time for You
. We, the
people, spend so much of our time wasting it away. As best said by Anne Frank
‘How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to
improve the world.’ This book gives us the opportunity to regain our time so
we can contribute to our world in a more meaningful, creative, productive
way!’’—Valerie E. Patton, Executive Director, St. Louis Business Diversity Initia-
tive
’’Although I’ve always considered myself an excellent manager of my business
and personal schedule, after reading
More Time for You
I now feel that I may
have been the victim of an overactive ego. The authors’ sage advice, written and
laid out in a clear and concise manner, is a refreshing and insightful demonstra-
tion of just how easily you can get more out of every day. I know that it made
an immediate impact on my daily routine; and it could change your life!’’—
Michael D. Lyons, Prudential Lyons Group Real Estate
‘‘One trait the happiest and most successful people I know have in common is
the rigor and discipline with which they manage their time. While each of us
has been given the gift of time, few would say they manage this precious re-
source wisely and well. This book enables you to set and fulfill your dreams,
making time for what’s most important to you instead of simply living each day
like you’re two steps behind on the treadmill of life. It contains the tools suc-
cessful and fulfilled people use to seize the gift of time with purpose and pas-
sion, so they can live their lives with maximum meaning and minimal
regrets.’’—Susan Hodgkinson, Founder and Principal, The Personal Brand Com-
pany
‘‘This book brings new insight and clarity to one of the big challenges of modern
life: keeping true to oneself while managing—or saying ‘no’ to the ‘stuff’ of busy
lives. As a parent, spouse, friend, entrepreneur, and cancer survivor, I will look
to
More Time for You
again and again. The ideas, tools and thinking of this book
will help you move from a life of good intentions to a more intentional life.’’—
Terri Nimmons, Principal and Founder, Stone Lake Leadership Group
‘‘
More Time for You
sets forth a tangible battle plan for conquering the ‘Holy
Grail’ of productivity—how to balance the must do’s and have some quality
time left for you. Where Covey began the dialogue, Tator and Latson continue
the journey toward successful time management, providing the reader with up-
to-date strategies and tactics for slaying the ‘procrastination dragon’ and creat-
ing more time for the areas of your life that matter! Whether you report to an
office, work remotely, are a student or a homemaker, this book is a must read,
providing aspirations of what your life could be and inspiration on how to get
there.’’—Michael Floyd, Founder, CEO, Pharmaffectiv, LLC
