The chapter headings will give you a sense of the story. Beneath is a short summary. The complete listing is at the bottom of the page
Chapter One introduces the manager John Watson and tells you something of what he already knows of time management. This chapter is like a condensed version of a time management book you will pick up in the high street.
Chapter Two puts John with a number of other typical executives who have some good ideas between them on time management but they are very diverse and not integrated.
Chapter Four - Eleven is where John meets some of the professors who are experts in time management. Plenty of practical techniques to read about. There are also a number of puzzles and clues to make your learning memorable and the read enjoyable. There is a distinct connection between the places John stays overnight to be found.
Chapter Twelve you could find interesting - this is where you will find the Plumstone connection if you have not previously found it! There is also this thing about a rabbit!
Chapter Thirteen is significant and there is a clue in the paragraph title. This could be like a time management detective story!
Chapter Fourteen involves some mysteries, and mystery guests and a strangely disappearing telephone box.
Chapter Fifteen involves a surprise or two - something does happen near a river too!
