Narrado por: Peter Bregman

How often do you get to the end of another long and frantic day and wonder why so many important things didn't get finished? We've never worked so hard and felt so unproductive and unfulfilled.

18 MINUTES takes this challenge and turns it on its head. Peter Bregman, top HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW columnist and global management consultant, shatters the myth of getting it all done by offering a clear and simple plan for getting the right things done.

He shows how the best way to fight distracting interruptions is to create productive ones ourselves, a practice that can be easily implemented in 18 minutes a day. The result is a simple yet comprehensive approach to managing your life a year, a day, and a moment at a time so that your life moves forward the way you want and at the pace you want.

This is quite possibly the best book every written on Corporate Management and Productivity. Government entities, private companies, small businesses - Bregman has laid out in the simplest language, how those who want to achieve tasks and increase productivity actually get it done. This book shot for well enough and achieved perfection. Five stars.

Great advice at the right time

As I write this in between sets at the gym, where I listened to this book over the previous couple of weeks, I reflect back on how much I can actually achieve if I just stop, think and schedule. No more just do it!
