Proper goals, discipline and prayer

This is a wonderful book. It is not only about managing time well but provides the tools to order your life to God in every way. It challenges you to make explicit your priorities in life (your real goals) so that you take care of the most important things first and secondary or unnecessary things later. In this way, you can make time for prayer, daily mass, understanding the faith more deeply (usually through reading), physical fitness, etc. Therefore in a way this is not only a time management book but a spirituality book, that is, a book that is about living the following of Christ more deeply. He first gives some of the tools to order your life (ch. 1-19). Second, he explains how to avoid major time-wasters (ch. 20-21), and third he shows how you ought to have time for spiritual things (ch. 22-27). In the appendix he provides a look at how Catholic time management is different from secular time management while also including a spiritual reading list, daily prayers and an examination of conscience.

Time management from my car

What better way to learn about time management than during those otherwise unproductive drives to and from work? I appreciate the perspective from this CD. Catholicism is not just a chapter at the end of the book, but informing and interwoven throughout the sound principles and techniques taught by secular professionals in this industry. But, don't assume you can accomplish time management changes just by listening. You must still do some assignments at a desk (or kitchen table). Now if they could only include those appendix materials with the CD...

Well-written, in plain English

There is no magic pill or fix in Durand's book. It is the simple truth that we all know but fail to put into action.

The secret to what makes good Catholic Families tick!

Wow! As a convert to Catholicism, I always was in awe at what made good Catholic families tick and how they managed to get everything done, have awesome kids, and seem very balanced. Here is the answer! This book is unlike any time management book you've ever read, and it is indeed distinctly Catholic and prayer centered. I would also recommend it for Protestants as the same principles could help them as well. The key is balance balance balance, prayer, and priorities. After trying this book out I found my time was actually increased and I got more done, and felt good about it too! We even have been successful in launching family prayer. Can't say enough. Buy the book!

Reliable techniques for overcoming procrastination

Written by successful motivational speaker Dave Durand, Time Management for Catholics offers reliable techniques for overcoming procrastination, making efficient use of one's time and keeping one's spiritual life a priority. Individual chapters address useful time savers such as kicking excessive television addiction, setting reasonable goals, keeping personal papers and supplies organized, and much, much more. Although written especially for Catholics and with a strong emphasis on the importance of keeping one's heart open to Christ, the useful physical and mental techniques in Time Management for Catholics are quite applicable to time-starved readers of all faiths and ecumenical backgrounds.
