Introduction For more than 19 years, Randy Dean has been obsessed. Obsessed with a topic that impacts us all – time management and the effective use of time. He was so obsessed, he left a successful career as a professional marketer, manager, and recruiter to become a leading expert in the field of time management and personal organization, and teach others how to be more organized, more effective with their time, and how to lead a life of productive purpose. Randy has been training people how to be more effective time and technology managers for 19 years, and has personally tested his time management system in major corporate, academic, and non-profit settings, as well as in two small and fast-paced for-profit companies. His time management, e-mail management, office clutter reduction, and PDA systems work, and are based on strategies created by Randy himself, and other thought-leaders in the field. He is the author of last year's Amazon.com bestseller, Taming the E-mail Beast: 45 Key Strategies for Better Managing Your E-mail Overload (Sortis Publishing, 2009).
