Good time management skills are crucial for authors. Manage your time well and you can maximize your efficiency, allowing you to meet or beat deadlines and still have time for other activities. Five successful textbook authors share the following time management tips:

1. Prioritize writing and other work and life commitments. “Ask yourself: What's most important? If family life ranks highest, then set aside writing in favor of spending time with loved ones. When you return to your desk, you'll focus far more effectively and get more accomplished because you will not be distracted by thoughts of having sacrificed life experiences that are deeply important to you.” —Laura Berk, author of Exploring Lifespan Development
