Time: Your Ally or Your Enemy? by Clive Boyett

Get Time on Your Side with Effective Time Management Techniques

‘Tempus Fugit’, or Time Flies as expressed in Latin, is a saying that is very relevant in our modern lives. We would often feel the urgency of life, the rapid changes of our environment, and the fast mobility of people and work.

Time should be kept not as an enemy, but as a companion towards your destined paths. There's a time for love, for jubilation, and for sorrow. There’s a time to relax, and a time to catch up with the running moments. But what is important is to be in control of time, no matter the amount of pressure.

You only have one life to live. Would you like to spend most of it just working and being inundated with too many responsibilities to handle? Would you like to have more than enough time in the world to do the things you love and to enjoy your life, amidst all your tasks?

This book will show you how to manage your time efficiently using powerful techniques in the art of prioritizing, delegation, goal-setting, planning, organizing, and conquering the ‘time robbers.’

The Great Impersonation is one of the most famous spy novels of all time. This is excellent reading with its fast moving plot and its imagery of the rich life of English aristocrats before the First World War, as well as its bold characters.

The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan

"I realised that I was bottled as sure as a pickled herring, and that there was only one way out. I had to die. If my pursuers knew I was dead they would go to sleep again."

Richard Hannay returns to England from South Africa to start a new life, but he gets caught up in a plot to ruin the British war effort (the First World War). Soon Hannay has to flee from his pursuers and has to fight for his life while trying to reveal the cipher code that will uncover the plot.

The Thirty-Nine Steps is a suspense-filled thriller (the first of three by John Buchan) featuring Hannay, an all-action hero with a stiff upper lip and an astonishing habit of getting himself out of sticky circumstances.

The novel formed the basis for a number of film adaptations, notably Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 adaptation, a 1959 color remake, a more faithful 1978 version, and a 2008 version for British television.
