For managing time, David Allen's Getting Things DoneFor managing your business, the E-Myth by Michael Gerber.For a clear-eyed look at how money and markets work, the Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham (it's a slog but it's an education all by itself)For actually looking at properties,  J Scott's book on Flipping Real Estate (it's a BP book and it's awesome) .
