Acknowledgments
This book was a long time coming. (There are more than just a few time management jokes there…) None of this book would have been possible without the encouragement of my wife, Amy. She has always been behind my hobby. She supported me years ago when I started my platform, blog, and podcast Time Management Ninja and to my current speaking engagements and beyond. I dedicate this book to my kids, Piper and Nate (the “original ninjas” who inspired the name). My family’s support means everything to me—they are the top priority of my time!
A special thanks to Hyrum Smith who inspired my passion for time management way back when Franklin day planners ruled the business world. Thanks to everyone at Mango Publishing who supported me in this project—Natasha Vera, for your endless patience and guidance and Yaddyra Peralta for your editing expertise. Finally, thanks to all of the individuals who have read the Time Management Ninja blog over the years. When I started with a single half-page blog post, I never expected that my writings would reach millions of people around the world. Thank you for your readership!
