Here are some books and other online resources I’ve collected for students at Lincoln Christian University. I gave a presentation to the freshmen on managing their time well. Actually, it was more of an anti-time-management perspective: effectiveness depends on a great deal more than sorting through your daily task list.

I used and taught Covey and Daytimer for many years before reading David Allen’s GTD book and switching to GTD. Its made a significant impact for the good on my business and personal productivity.
And I found an application that allows me to view my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs and even on my cell phone. And another app lets me call in tasks to my GTD without any writing or typing, great for those thoughts that hit me while driving.
