The 26 Hour Day - $17.99 Squeezing more out of each day seems a constant goal of most small business owners. Vince Panella, the world's foremost proponent and teacher of Time Control, presents a unique blend of success development and time-management skills he has developed, proven, and taught around the world since 1982. Any and every business and career professional, who is trying to find more profitable and productive time at work and a more balanced and enjoyable time at home, can benefit from this book. The reader will learn how to gain at least two to four more productive and enjoyable hours a day at work and at home.

Panella contends that behaviors drive our actions, and our actions determine our success. Other time-management methods focus only on the development of organizational and scheduling skills and leave most people frustrated and with little extra time in the long run. By adjusting simple habits and behaviors, as Panella outlines in this book, most people find they have more time to work with and that they can make time work in their favor. (256 pages)
