The 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Life Management
Smith is CEO of Franklin Quest, a company that conducts time-management seminars for corporations, organizations, and government agencies, reaching as many as 20,000 persons per month. It also sells day-planner scheduling books as an integral part of the time-management system it touts. This highly successful company was founded by Smith a little more than 10 years ago and was modeled on the self-improvement system outlined in Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography. Smith argues that there is much more to managing time than getting things done. He preaches that only by understanding one’s own value system can one decide what matters most, set priorities, and accomplish one’s goals. The result is not only a better-organized life but a more fulfilling one. By focusing on time, Smith has provided a self-improvement book that almost everyone can use–and benefit from.
