In a truly novel approach, Mark Ellwood has bracketed his practical tips on time management with hilarious modern fairy tales illustrating the issues at hand. I laughed out loud at the adventures of Willard Thistelwaite in "Chronicle of a Chronically Ill Meeting" and Nicholas Wigglesworth in "Tribal Quest on the Fifth Floor." The jargon free, easy to implement solutions Ellwood outlines are as memorable as the characters he has created. Since finishing A Complete Waste of Time, I have been inspired by its hero, time management guru Crispin Quirty, to slay some dragons in my own worklife, including runaway paperwork and run-on meetings. A truly rare find in an "industry" book, A Complete Waste of Time is educational and entertaining. (rated 5 stars out of 5) From: The Montreal Gazette Ellwood offers solid advice on how to use work time efficiently ... the fables are well written and short enough that they can be digested during a coffee break, lunch break or short (subway) ride ... the section in the book on running meetings, if read by every meeting chairman in the country, could probably save millions of dollars in time lost through long-windedness.   TO ORDER A COPY Name Address City Prov/State Country Postal Code Email Address Phone Number We'll invoice you $15.95 U.S. or $19.95 Canadian plus $5.00 for tax, handling and shipping.
