There are many tips and tricks that have been developed over the years to combat procrastination, and many of the most productive people, such as high achieving students, millionaires etc., employ these techniques. Provided here are resources and books to help you manage your time more effectively to help you become a more productive person and allow more time for other interests outside of essential tasks.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"first-things-first-by-stephen-r-covey","title":"First Things First by Stephen R Covey","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the spirit of THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE, the international bestseller, FIRST THINGS FIRST is a revolutionary guide to managing your time by learning how to balance your life. Traditional time management suggests that working harder, smarter and faster will help you gain control of your life, and that increased control will bring peace and fulfilment. The authors of FIRST THINGS FIRST disagree. In the first real breakthrough in time management in years, Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger Merrill and Rebecca R. Merrill apply the insights of the 7 HABITS to the daily problems of people who must struggle with the ever increasing demands of work and home life. Rather than focusing on time and things, FIRST THINGS FIRST emphasises relationships and results. And instead of efficiency, this new approach emphasises effectiveness. Covey offers a principle-centred approach that will empower readers to define what is truly important; to accomplish worthwhile goals; and to lead rich, rewarding and balanced lives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968539414834,"sku":"SNG9875","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/7351\/5314\/files\/512HX9N1T4L.jpg?v=1773396649"},{"product_id":"hyperfocus-atomic-habits-deep-work-3-books-collection-set-by-chris-bailey-james-clear-cal-newport","title":"Hyperfocus, The Power of Habit, Deep Work 3 Books Collection Set by Chris Bailey, Cal Newport","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eHyperfocus, The Power of Habit, Deep Work 3 Books Collection Set:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eHyperfocus:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Hyperfocus, Chris Bailey provides profound insights into how we can best manage our attention.
