Splendid Free Ebook on Time Management for Creative People

If you are – like me – always happy to receive good business advice, than I can only strongly recommend this free ebook by Mark McGuiness. 
Too busy to read long books? Then this one is perfect for you! In 30 short pages Mark will make you think again about how you organise your creative life.
You can download it from his website Wishful Thinking. (And no I'm not sponsored by him – I'm just an enthusiast.)

In his ebook Mark shares tips and suggestions on how to find time to be creative while staying on top of all the mundane tasks. 
This is a compendium of the author's own experiences and highlights from various famous business books. All sources are named, which is great if you want to read up about things in more detail. Mark then explains how some of those suggestions have worked for him, and how to overcome the difficulties which you may encounter when using those strategies.
It's written in an easy-to-follow and entertaining voice and will definitely make you think.

I took away a few excellent suggestions from this book, but the one thing which really made a difference for me, was the discussion of how to deal with the seemingly never-ending flood of emails – and how to make sure things don't get forgotten in your email inbox. 
The chapter 'Get things done by putting them off till tomorrow' really sorted me out.
