Free (Kobo) The Lazy Project Manager [Business Management Productivity Advice]

The Lazy Project Manager: How to be twice as productive and still leave the office early by Peter Taylor is the 2nd edition of his business productivity/time management technique advice guide, free courtesy of publisher Infinite Ideas.

Technically, we've gotten this free a couple of years ago, but that was an older edition. Also, there's a current freebie tie-in companion book which does a case study and workshop out of an actual project that was dealt with using the techniques.

Currently free @ Kobo (available to Canadians, and possibly a glitch just for us, since it looked decidedly unfree when I spot-checked the US & UK, though YMMV for your own locale)

And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat… ish) free ebook thread of the day.

Bumping off my original pick, which is not particularly time-sensitive and can probably wait, since I suspect this one may wind up being a short-lived glitch freebie. Still, nice to get it (and in the updated version, to boot!) to accompany the companion freebie which has been available for a while. :2thumbsup

Enjoy!
