About the Book (from Sophia Institute Press)

Whether you change tires or change diapers, it’s easy to get so busy that you neglect the things that matter most — your relationship with your family and your relationship with God. That’s why Dave Durand wrote Time Management for Catholics. This handy guide combines proven time management techniques with valuable directions on how to order your life so that faith and family come first. Simply, clearly, and genially, Dave shows you how to find the time you need for your family, your job, your finances, and your health. He even helps you make time simply to relax! Best of all, he’ll teach you how to make time for the most important thing you can possibly do in this world: strengthen your relationship with Almighty God. And he helps you do all this without getting overwhelmed or burnt out!  Dave Durand’s time management techniques will make you more efficient, but they will also do something far more important: help you become more truly human, more truly yourself, and more truly the person that God created you to be. 

“Dave Durand will show you how to become a better employee, a better spouse, a better parent, and, above all, a better Catholic!”
