The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker
The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker
Want to have a bigger impact? Get more done? Grow in you career? The Effective Executive contains time-tested guidance on how to do it. Written by Peter Drucker, he condenses his wisdom into practical, essential, proven guidance for getting results. Drucker wrote it in 1967, after 20 years of closely working with and studying executives. The book addresses a fundamental tension between organization and individual. The organization tends to use the individual's time poorly. The limits of time require an individual to overcome the inertia of the organization or risk achieving nothing.

Mind Management Not Time Management
Mind Management Not Time Management
David Kadavy makes the case that “time management” is not the real problem. Organizing and completing our tasks relate first to energy, not time. “Time management,” he writes, “is like squeezing blood from a stone.” This is a book about maximizing your return on your efforts with knowledge work. It is about living in an unstructured environment, where valuable ideas spring from novel connections: the intriguing marketing plan that catapults your company forward, writing a book worth reading, or designing a garden that brings peace and beauty to your property. Mental energy and managing the mind are both vague phrases, and Kadavy unpacks them in his book, revealing a framework for organizing and executing your work according to mental states.
