The moment you start work, time management skills become critical to your success. Unfortunately, your formal education has done little to prepare you for this challenge. Remember following a semester syllabus? Those days have ended. Now your typical workday is completely unpredictable. You constantly confront changing priorities, loads of disruptions, and multiple supervisors, all of whom impose a deadline of "yesterday." If you find yourself seriously pressed for time, you've come to the right resource. Mary Crane has developed a list of the 100 most important things you need to know to manage your time effectively in "easy to absorb," almost tweetable chunks. You can't know everything. But tackle the "100 Things You Need to Know" about time management, and you'll make the best use of your time at home and work.
Author Biography
A graduate of the University of Missouri and George Washington University Law School, Mary Crane worked as a lawyer and a lobbyist before heading to the Culinary Institute of America ("the other CIA"), from which she graduated with honors. A CIA externship led her to the White House (yes, the one at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue), where she served as an assistant chef. During this time, she saw important business and political relationships formed and celebrated with the help of good food and wine. The experience yielded Mary Crane & Associates. Today Crane travels North America delivering high-impact, high-energy programs to Fortune 500 companies, leading law firms, nonprofits, and colleges and universities. She helps students, interns, and new hires successfully make the critically important transition from school to work. Mary Crane has been featured on 60 Minutes, Fox Business News, and ABC Radio. She has been quoted extensively in a variety of print and electronic media, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes.com, Fortune.com, and CNN.com.
