Just a few years after I have started my strategy consulting business (as well as my own book-store) in the early 90's, I spotted a review of this book, 'The Personal Efficiency System (PEP)', in Success Magazine. I bought it immediately & have reread it many times. A few years later, came the second book, The 'High-Tech Personal Efficiency System' by the same author. I bought it immediately too & have read - & refered to - it several times.From the standpoint of self-management & work productivity, I consider them to be the best in the genre.In essence, the High Tech PEP book is a further extension of the earlier PEP book. Basically, it shows the reader how to exploit technology (email, groupware, internet, cell phones, etc.) as a personal information management tool & how to apply the low-tech principles of PEP in a high-tech environment.What I like about both books is the smorgasbord of concrete suggestions & useful checklists from the author. Also, I like the author's superb presentation of his brilliant work as embodied in the two books: each chapter comes with a preview & ends with follow-up action points. Bravo! as these aids make reading a breeze!In a nut shell, these are the relevant chapters, respectively:PEP:Introduction: Personal Efficiency Program - The Missing Link;Do It Now!Organize It Now!Do It Routinely;Plan It Now!;Follow-Up & Follow-Through;Do It Right, Now!;Do It Now! - From Whereever You Are!Be a Do It Now Manager;Organizing the Team to Act Now!
