It specifically addresses your concern. It states that successful people manage to do the things that unsuccessful people don't: the things that people generally don't like to do.
It deals with time-wasters, and how to work effectively with other people as well. But it begins where it makes sense: with the self.

This is absolutely fantastic advice! Nothing like understanding your areas of concern and areas of influence and how they work together.
I would also suggest Now, Discover Your Strengths which helps you understand how to work in and expandyour areas of influence. It deals with your strengths and weaknesses; how to develop your natural strengths and manage around your weaknesses. The things that bore you are often tied to your areas of weakness which can be boring and/or cause frustration.
Both books work very well together.
