You have all the time there is. You have the same twenty-four hours (1,440 minutes, 86,400 seconds) that everyone has. What can be different is how you use them. Whether you work for a huge multi-national corporation, a small start-up, or are self-employed; whether you're a farmer, school principal, lawyer, store owner, or research scientist, chances are you fall into the same time traps we all do. Now, world-renowned time management expert, Dr. Alec Mackenzie, will show you how to climb out. In Part One of The Time Trap, Mackenzie explores the general principles of time management, the "hows and whys." He begins by asking the biggest "why" of all: in the twenty-first century, with all our pocket diaries, personal organizers and hand-held computers with expensive time management software, why is time management still a problem? He finds the answer in the powerful pull of human nature, the difficulty of breaking old habits and learning new ones, and the way habits in one area affect behavior in another. Managing time starts with establishing goals and setting priorities. After setting priorities you can take charge of your time -- and your time is your life -- by using the most effective time management tool: a written plan for the day, supported by an overall planning system. In Part Two, Mackenzie addresses the causes and cures of the top twenty time wasters. For each, he defines the real problem, examines its cause, and describes detailed solution strategies. He shows that many of us fall into time traps because we don't know how to say "No!" to a friend, colleague, family member or boss without being afraid of offending them. Then he presents dozens of real-life scenarios, demonstrating exactly what to say and do in these delicate, difficult situations. You'll learn how to deal with drop-in visitors, maximize meetings, delegate responsibility, improve your communication, and much more. So read this book and reap the rewards of effective, successful time management: more productivity, less stress, faster progress toward your goals, and a better balance between work and the rest of your life.

Hiding in time is not as easy as you’d think… USAF Engineer Master Sergeant Briggs—only his mother called him by his first name—is not enjoying his birthday. A year older and ordered to recuperate on a quiet bay away from the Garradian outpost, he’s ready to mutiny and go back to his beloved engines. When his friends send him a gift from Area 51, he figures it will relieve his boredom for an hour or so. Until he turns it on and he gets his second present of the day. Madison, and her parrot partner, Sir Rupert, are on the track of a traitor to the Rebellion when they time travel into a trap. Their only way out is via an old transport pad, but instead of sending them somewhere, it sends them back in time. Straight into the arms of the one man who could kick her tires and light her fires. She would like to get to know the handsome engineer, but the trouble following her can get people erased from existence. The fact he’s a hero, like her lost brother, just makes her want to protect him more. Briggs doesn’t trust time travelers—with good reason—but now he has to work with the unlikely pair because trouble is coming. Trouble that puts an outpost filled with geeks and ancient technology at risk. It’s not the first time he’s worked with a woman to save the universe, but it’s the first time he’s wanted to keep her for himself. If only she were a little older… With a Time Service Interdiction Force on their heels, can the three craft a plan that will save a base full of geniuses and technology and get them the happy ending they deserve?

When a time-traveler is mistakenly sent to Medieval Greece, he finds bandits, Crusaders—and his own evil twin—in this sci-fi series debut. In the 26th century, chaos threatens to overwhelm civilization—but the historians on staff at the Time Institute are determined to change things for the better. By gathering first-hand recordings of history’s greatest events, they hope to restore faith in humanity and inspire the modern-day populace to pursue its own achievements. But when anarchist saboteurs infiltrate the Institute, time-traveler Noel Kedran is sent to the wrong place and century. Medieval Greece is little more than a way-station for European knights headed for the Crusades. This small pocket of history is awash in treachery as Greek bandits, French knights, and Constantinople's diplomats battle for supremacy. Caught in their clash to rule Greece, Noel fears that any alteration to the course of history could destroy his own time. But then he meets his own mirror image—a doppelganger as determined to destroy the future as Noel is to save it. And he’s ready to take both history and Noel’s fate into his own hands…unless Noel beats him to it.

Laurel's ordinary life changes to extraordinary when cyborg flies shrink her down and take her on an adventure. Racing through and against time to famous places of the past, learning about history and faith, Laurel discovers that even an average girl like her can make a valuable contribution to a team. What's worse than getting stuck on flypaper? Being trapped in time! By now, you'd think the TimeFlyz knew everything there is to know about time travel. But a menacing Venus flytrap's pursuit imperils their tunnel, leaving Laurel alone to rescue her team. She will have the opportunity, however, to model forgiveness while attempting to keep the famous astronomer Galileo both out of prison and Darchon's clutches. But if she doesn't act quickly enough, time may run out for another member of Laurel's family.
