The overarching theme of 8by3 paradigm of time management is to view time as the basis for everything we do. An efficient use of time is the foundation for success in all endeavors. Balancing time implies using explicit and equitable allotments of time to the various undertakings of each day. The development of the paradigm introduced in this book is based on the authors own personal practice of the approach for over three decades that have resulted in his ability to manage multiple endeavors. The approach has been honed enough to the point that it can be shared with others who may want to adopt and adapt it for their own activities. The paradigm presents a simple guide to managing the hours of the day over three major blocks of time allocated to the three typical categories of human undertakings. The three blocks of time cover work activities, home activities, and leisure activities. Each block has sub-blocks that are managed in contiguous hierarchical timeline templates. The 8by3 paradigm can be customized for each persons specific needs and circumstances. This book does not ask readers to sacrifice one time block for another or vice versa. Rather, it encourages balancing time across the work time, the home time, and leisure time.

This book presents an exciting introduction to the concept of creating a virtual 25th hour in the day as a technique for effective time management. Each human being, from the time of birth, will always be confronted with more and more things to do. Yet, the available time is not going to expand. Technically, this means there is always more to do than there is time to do them all. So, we desire more time. Unfortunately, each day is pegged, physically, at only 24 hours. Thus, the virtual 25th hour is needed. Going further more aggressively, a determined reader can even squeeze out a virtual 26th hour (or more) in the day.

This book on Rapidity: Time Management on the Dot is about a focused and adaptive approach to time management. The theme is to do something with rapidity. In ordinary parlance, rapidity is a noun denoting the attribute of doing something with great speed. Some favorite thesaurus options for rapidity are swiftness, quickness, speed, speediness, briskness, expeditiousness, dispatch, alacrity, promptness, and immediacy. Rapidity, as a conveyor of time management on the dot, implies an alignment of time, cost, and quality of getting things done. The book also covers the need to deal with a pandemic-disrupted landscape of time management. Several guides and tips are provided in the book.

This book is a continuation of the Physics of Soccer book series. It presents guidelines for playing soccer smart and safe, using the principles of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). It is a great book to get kids excited about the role and linkage of science in sports.

This is a book of historical legacy of a Catholic secondary school in Lagos, Nigeria, with a long-term reputation for academic excellence, student discipline, and soccer superiority. The focus of this book is to salute, recognize, and celebrate the special group of Students, the soccer players, of Saint Finbarr’s College, Lagos, Nigeria. Much has been written about the accomplishments of other groups of ex-Finbarrians, but nothing has been written collectively about the soccer players. It is a book targeting the alumni of the school to bring appropriate glory and recognition to the soccer players of the school, many of whom have gone on to play for the Nigerian National Team as well as play professionally around the world.

This is a continuation of the several previous “legacy” books about Saint Finbarr’s College, Lagos, Nigeria. It is a book of historical legacy of the school, with a long-term reputation for academic excellence, student discipline, and soccer superiority. The focus of this book is to salute, recognize, and celebrate the special group of Students, the athletes, particularly the soccer players. Much has been written about the accomplishments of other groups of ex-Finbarrians, but nothing has been written collectively about the soccer players. It is a book targeting the alumni of the school to bring appropriate glory and recognition to the soccer players of the school, many of whom have gone on to play for the Nigerian National Team as well as play professionally around the world.

Soccer is the beautiful game, as widely recognized around the world. January 2014 statistics show that over 50 million youth play soccer worldwide. Early training of soccer means a lifetime of love of the sport. The enjoyment of soccer transcends mere involvement as a player, coach, fan, sponsor, dad, or mom. There are subtle lessons of life to be learned from soccer as a team sport. One aspect that is often ignored is the potential to use soccer to teach basic math and science principles, which are essential for later career paths in the technical fields. It is this void that prompted me to write this book as a way to leverage soccer training to spark the interest of kids and adults in the applications of math and science. Youth Soccer Training Slides: A Math and Science Approach is a sequel following my first soccer book of 2010 entitled Physics of Soccer: Using Math and Science to Improve Your Game. That first book was published to coincide with the 2010 FIFA World Cup Tournament Soccer in South Africa. This second book is written to coincide with the 2014 FIFA World Cup Soccer Tournament in Brazil. Although this book targets youth soccer training, it is quite suitable and recommended for adult soccer training as well. The technical principles are general enough to apply to all levels of soccer training. The presentation slides format of the book makes it amenable for pick-and-choose applications of specific training topics. In his 2014 book, the Great Pele of Brazil emphasizes Why Soccer Matters. In the opinion of this author, soccer, indeed, matters not only because of its socio-economic impacts around the world, but also because of the various other benefits it offers. Soccer matters because it is a thinking game and the ultimate team sport. The theme and premise offered by Youth Soccer Training Slides cover various math and science topics to enhance the understanding and enjoyment of the game.
