Proving that it does not necessarily take time to make time, consultant Mendlin has put together a brisk, common-sense guide readers can apply immediately to at least one of their problems with maintaining workable schedules. Mendlin, whose 40-year career includes experience in 14 different business fields, works in part from his experience with ex-prisoners who are trying to sort out their lives on the outside. The survival skills he champions seem to relate well to overstressed managers and executives: get your working and living spaces free of burdensome clutter, get things done through clear and concise communication, find and keep a valid source of motivation, refuse to drown in unnecessary or overlong meetings, practice the delicate art of delegating, handle problems efficiently the first time, refuse to allow distractions, and know when you are about to self-destruct and take preventative measures.
