The One Habit is a book about the most essential ingredient required for success in this competitive and confusing world. It is more than time management and more than habits. Dr. Lybrand takes the reader on an adventure from defining success in a personal and useful way, to understanding the power of systems thinking, to eventually focus on the most powerful ability anyone who succeeds can cultivate as a daily habit: The ability to get done every day exactly what you mean to get done. Imagine what it could mean if you understand exactly why and how to transform what you accomplish on a day-to-day basis. The most interesting point of The One Success Habit is how the book is written to engage the reader in a non-stop experience of reading from beginning to end. In a way, Dr. Lybrand doesn't give the reader an 'off ramp' once the book begins. Get ready for a fun read that can also change your life.

One of the biggest excuses for not creating the change we want is that we are convinced we just don't have the time. We're already on overload. How can we possibly fit one more thing in? We're convinced we have not a moment to do those things we have to do, much less what we yearn most to. It Takes An Egg Timer, a Guide to Creating the Time for Your Life intends to prove that excuse wrong. You do have enough time-for everything you have to do and want to, and then some. It's just a question of what you are letting get in the way. This is not your typical book on time management. It is part guide and part manifesto. It offers uncomplicated solutions that start with a very simple tool, the egg timer. It is written not just for the self-employed and entrepreneurs struggling to keep themselves on task, productive and happy but also for those who simply dream about making a change in their life, big or small, and are convinced that what is stopping them is not enough time. Informative and entertaining, It Takes An Egg Timer will inspire and motivate you to examine how you use and misuse your time. At the end you will no longer ask yourself whether you have the time to do what you want, but what you will do with it now that you've found it.

"a gift to any busy minister" - Dr Tim Ling Beyond Busyness is a practical and effective step towards connecting up the limitations of time with the demands and realities of ministry. It helps ministers to take positive steps in developing a time wisdom which will help them navigate the very considerable pressures that many currently face. "Beyond Busyness abounds with practical wisdom for those engaged in Christian Ministry. At a time when busyness, anxiety and stress characterise the lives of many of the Church's ministers, Stephen Cherry has written a much-needed book. It very effectively challenges ministers to reflect on how they approach and use the gift of time. Each of the short 28 sessions offers considerable insight into the nature of time and encourages ministers to confront their current habits and develop new life-giving practices through which their ministry can thrive and they can flourish. Every minister should spend time not only reading Beyond Busyness but integrating its wisdom into their lives." - DR JOCELYN BRYAN, Director of Postgraduate Studies, St John's College, Durham University Stephen Cherry is a Residentiary Canon of Durham Cathedral, Director of Ministerial Development and Parish Support in the Diocese of Durham, and author of Healing Agony and the Archbishop of Canterbury's 2011 Lent Book, Barefoot Disciple.

Bill's Im-Perfect Time Management Adventure begins with an anonymous email - it warns Bill, an engineer at Syscon, that he's on a list of project managers at risk of layoff. A conversation with his boss confirms his fears - his poor time management skills threaten his financial security and his family's well-being. To escape failure, he must improve dramatically, and fast. In quick succession, he tries several prescriptions for better time management - a new smartphone, a popular book and a colleague-turned-coach. None yield the results his management team wants, and he sinks deeper into panic. To make matters worse, Syscon temporarily transfers him to another company: a cost-saving move that the company has used in the past a precursor for permanent separation. Backed against the wall, Bill finds space to think, and he discovers the need for every working professional to develop an individual time management system. He tests his ideas on himself before speaking up to his colleagues-on-loan. Brewed in the company's culture and supported by an open-minded executive and an eccentric time management researcher, Bill's ideas start to bear fruit. He and his new colleagues realize that they already have time management systems in place; asking working professionals to implement new systems without taking their original habits, practices and rituals into account just doesn't make sense. With his colleagues' help, he visualizes the group of core skills that people already use unconsciously to manage their time as seven "ladders" that people can climb in order to improve dramatically in a short time. His good luck runs out, however, when Syscon calls him back. Though his future unnerves him, he returns with a commitment to apply his new approach to help turn the company's chronic problem of low productivity around. When he arrives, he must lead a sub-par team, and the pressure to keep his own job rises as he struggles to save theirs. To make matters worse, his colleague-turned-coach now sees him as a threat to his own upward mobility at Syscon. To survive the test of attrition, Bill must boost his whole team's productivity, and his new method offers the only chance. "Finally An engaging story about time management with flesh-and-blood characters. Bill's Im-Perfect Time Management Adventure reads like a suspense novel. You'll hardly know that you're learning the most organic and flexible system for managing your time that exists." - Judith Kolberg, author Getting Organized in the Era of Endless: What To Do When Information, Interruptions and Work is Endless and Time is Not "Francis is unique because he has not only come up with a good time management system for himself, but he has then gone on to dissect what works and then present it to the world in a format other people can directly apply without any prior knowledge." - Yaro Starak, Entrepreneurs-Journey.com "Substantial productivity tips packed up and rolled into a superb novel." - Leon Ho, founder of Lifehack
