[Book] Calm at Work - by Paul Wilson

I read few pages of a book titled "Calm at Work" - Paul Wilson.

Yes, the author of this book is Paul Wilson! That's why I pick it up from the bookshelf (Hey Paul, why don't you let me know that you publish a book with no relationship with .NET?!)

Obviously, that author is actually NOT the one who I know - the ASP.NET Guru: PaulWilson. I saw this book on the cateogry of Psychology from a bookstore, and I pick it up anyway as the title is quite interesting to me (another reason is that I want to clarify is that Paul == the one who I know :)
While a chapter of "Time" and "Time Pressure" in this book impressed me and I'd like to blog and share it:

"Time is money"
"Time and Tide wait for nobody"
"Procrastination is the thief of time"

Yes, the quotes above are always true, we might always get pressure from "time", actually it's the deadline of our work. The author explain briefly for the Time concept and from my understanding:

Time won't give pressure to us, which is actually depends on our attitude and perception of "time"...

Heads create time pressure but not the clock...

Our tension increase especially when the deadline near, but if we can look at another point of view, the 'deadline' give security and motivation to people to work on. Especially, I think in this I.T. / Computing industry, most of us are facing 'deadline' everyday, as most of our works are project / contract based, where a deadline and the associated pressure created when the contract start among different parties.

The abstract description/extraction of this book explain the concept of time and time pressure pretty well, and the suggest solution for the time pressure can be found on that book as well.
