A good introduction to scheduling for the young adult!

This book is actually part of a ten-book series on 'achieving high performance' for young adults. They come under Learning-a-Living Library, which comprises core subjects of, among others, understanding systems, self-management, leadership & organising information. These focused areas are very useful for todays' young adults to learn, develop & adopt as part of their lifestyles. Despite its compact size, only 64 pages, this book gives a good grounding to the subject of scheduling i.e. using time to your best advantage, as follows: - scheduling at school; - scheduling at work; - scheduling & your career; - scheduling & your future; The young adult examples used are also very appropriate. Unfortunately, like all the other books in the series, the publisher has done a lousy job in picking photographs, mostly black & white, for illustrations in the book. Even the colour photograph on the front cover is visually unappealing. In today's multimedia savvy world, I just wonder how young readers can be quickly attracted by this good book. This is my only complaint about this book. I like the 'Questions to Ask Yourself' at the end of each chapter. They help the reader to focus on key points & then ponder, prior to personal application. The resource bibliography at the end of the book is quite useful for young readers to pursue further on the subject. On the whole, I rate a score of 4 for this book. I would recommend young readers to also peruse the following titles in the series: - High Performance through Understanding Systems; - High Perrformance through Self Management; - High Performance through Leadership; - High Performance through Organising Information;
