Why you should read The 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Life Management

This book by Hyrum W. Smith would be equally at home in the business or self-help section of a bookstore. Its message is as applicable to a CEO of a large company as it is to a recent high school graduate. Smith liberally peppers the book with anecdotes. These amusing stories provide interesting breaks from the instructional tone he uses in describing the 10 natural laws for managing your time and your life. They also help put his abstract concepts – like the Franklin Reality Model and Personal Productivity Pyramid – into an easier-to-understand context. The stories illustrate the concepts of the book in terms everyone can understand. getAbstract recommends this useful book to executives who want to learn more about managing their time effectively.
