You don’t DO time management. You have to MANAGE time.
My two favorite books on time management are The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Time Management from the Inside Out.
The 7 Habits is a good start. There are also numerous websites that contain articles and tips eg. http://www.mindtools.com/pages/main/newMN_HTE.htm
The most important thing is to determine (i) why you feel you’re not managing your time well eg. firefighting at work all the time and not enough attention given to more important issues. (ii) what problems are you facing eg. burnout due to lack of personal time or estrangement from family members.
Focus on what you want to achieve, review and use the tools/tips that are most appropriate for you, and track progress over time. Do it long enough, and it becomes a natural habit that requires no additional effort.
Personally I found the Important-Urgent grid most useful

Delegate the job to a time management specialist.
