A reader named Melissa wrote to ask for some information about time management, a perennial challenge. " I am an extremely hard worker who is very dedicated, but lately I find myself at the point where I just have way too much to do - and of course not enough time to do it all, " she says. Does that sound familiar?
Most of us are familiar with the time-management bible, Stephen Covey's " The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. " But if you need additional pointers on how to prioritize tasks and boost your efficiency, check out The Productivity Institute's Web site at www.balancetime.com/
