Summary: weLEAD Book Review by the Editor of leadingtoday.org
Comment: Occasionally a book comes along that is short, a pleasure to read and truly helpful. If You Haven't Got the Time to Do It Right, When Will You Find the Time To Do It Over is such a book. Mayer has spent much of his career as a time management consultant and he has written a basic primer for those interested in organizing their lives to a greater degree.
Most of us are being required to do more work with fewer people. How to get this increased workload accomplished is a common problem. Mayer asks, "But are we really increasing our productivity, or just the number of hours we work?" He then offers a solution. The key to getting work done is not simply to work harder and longer but smarter! Better organization is a solution. This book is centered on the principle of "save time by wasting less of it!" The author uses his vast experience to offer ideas, techniques, and concepts to save time and use it more effectively.
If You Haven't Got the Time to Do It Right, When Will You Find the Time To Do It Over provides common sense ideas that really work if we are willing to apply them. Being creatures of habit we tend to do things because that is the way they have typically been done. Mayer has boldly stepped out of the habitual routine to find ways to overcome daily obstacles to time and productivity. He attempts to show how time can be saved in "small pieces" rather than in large blocks. He ponders, "Save thirty seconds every five minutes, and by the end of the day, you've saved an hour." The book is divided into two parts. The first part shows you how to organize your workspace including your office, files management and desk. The second part shows you how to streamline your entire business to become more productive and organized.
This is a useful and rewarding book. If it helps you to change only one routine in your life due to its beneficial ideas it will have served a valuable purpose. Easy to read and understand from cover to cover!

Summary: I first read this book in 1993 and still use it today.
Comment: Unfortunately, I later handed it off to a coworker who was struggling with organization. It's definitely a "read it once" type of book. My disorganized boss continuously comments on my organizational skills, so I've decided to pick up a copy for her as well as another coworker and replace my own.

Summary: A really good motivational book
Comment: The David Rix review really summarizes this book well. Its small size makes it very readable and very useful--a long, detailed time management book really defeats the purpose. The strength of this books isn't so much in the common sense advice; it is the the fact that it gives you a starting place, and a clear strategy for managing your time. By just spending less time trying to find lost files/information, holding more efficient meetings, and by reigning in your phone time and lost "chit-chat" time at work, you can really gain more control over your day. Having control over your day can really help you to get up in the morning, and not lose so much sleep over the endless problems that crop up during your work day. This book is a good first start toward that end.
