I looked at a lot of time management books, and I found that most other books on time management are about organizing work, not actually managing time.

You know what it is: We so resist taking that time that we end up just doing whatever we can get done, and we think we're being efficient.

I'm asking people to take time in order to manage their time better -- and to be explicit about it. We're often not explicit about it, and as a result we think we can get everything done. We think we don't need to be explicit about it. Why waste time managing my time when I'm just going to get everything done.

That's another mistake I think a lot of time management books make: the idea that if you just organize your work well enough, nothing will fall through the cracks. I believe things should fall through the cracks -- indeed, they should be pushed through the cracks strategically.
