The David Allen Company's <GETTING THINGS DONE> has 
been greatly useful for me.

The focus is on managing tasks and projects-- not time as no 
matter how well you manage time you still end up with the same 
amount.

> techniques for the realities of an organizer's day-to-day work that 
> make planning challenging: having to wait on people's 
> replies/phone calls; cancellations and quick change-of-plans; 
> setting aside time for both desk work and time out in the field; 
> working around members' availability; translating long-term 
> planning into the day-to-day...among other things...
