If you feel like you need a time management course because you can’t get everything done, you might just need to learn to focus on one thing at a time instead.
Singletasking outlines both an argument for doing one thing at a time and tips for how to do it in a world where multitasking is considered a superpower
A collection of lessons learned from successful women, this book will give you some great insights. Each chapter is an interview with a woman who tells her story and gives you an inside look at what she learned along the way.
This is a book for women. Men need not apply. However, for working women who feel like ‘there’s never enough time’ reading this book will give you a new perspective.
There were several surprising lessons I took away from this book, all centered around the lies that we tell ourselves about time. If you feel like you don’t have time to do things you enjoy, you don’t have time to exercise, or you don’t get enough sleep, you will find when you read this book that you’ve been telling yourself a big fat lie. You have the time. You are getting enough sleep. You are just caught up in the narrative that society has accepted as truth. Getting a glimpse into other professional women’s schedules was very gratifying. There is instructional value in being able to take a look at someone else’s life who has a similar circumstance. For me, the best part was that I found that I’m not alone. My life doesn’t look all that different from someone else’s. There is comfort in that. But, I also got a lot of great ideas about how to take better advantage of the time I do have for pursuing things outside of work (and sleep). This book will open your eyes to the amount of time you have and give you a better appreciation for how you want to send it.
If you get one tip out of this book that makes your meetings better, it will be worth the time you spend to read it. In corporate America today, people call a lot of meetings, and it is usually not something your coworkers look forward to. Not only will you get more efficient meetings by using the tips in this book, you’ll also be more popular with your coworkers!
Nearly all of us have to give presentations in the course of our job. Whether it is a project kick off, a status meeting, or an executive steering committee presentation, having a presentation that is memorable and stands out will set you apart. This book provides creative ways to present your information and gives insight into the psychology of how people process and remember your data.
