A Winner!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
For a self-employed writer with a major case of disorganization this book is a godsend. From the opening advice in "How to read this Book" to the final chapter "Application Strategies", this book is packed with information and useful hints. From giving me permission to start the book at any chapter that appeals to me, to the 'right-on' advice about procrastination, to the values identification exercise, 'Managing Workplace Chaos' has made my workday more productive and less stressful. And the added bonus is that the advice in this book has helped me in my life outside of work. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

This book was worth so much more than money. It has taken pressure off of everyone in our office, not to mention our family members. The techniques for speed reading were worth there weight in gold, considering the ever increasing need to read faster with the flood of information we get everyday. I am personally grateful that I bought this book. I have decreased my stress level ten-fold. Thank you Patricia! for your dedication to writing such a fantastic book!

My company loves this book. the management bought each of us a copy and we read it at lunchtime. we are applying many of the interruption techniques and have proposed a new work flow strategy to the management as a result of what we are learning. a must for all working people today.
Just what we needed!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is just what we needed at work. Simple, to the point and yet it gives clear and practical solutions for the issues of time management, "paper" and stress that we all talk about in the lunch room. I loved the section on ergonomics and "eyebreaks." I've never seen that before in a business book. Most of the other books I've seen on the subject of time management are so overloaded with information, that I don't have the time to read them! This book even tells you how to read it so that you get the most out of it. I used the speed reading techniques on the book -- just as it recommended -- and found stuff I could put to immediate use. I highly recommend the book to anyone who wishes they had more hours in the day to get things done.
Easy to Understand and Apply!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Love the approach of the author. I can understand and apply the skills taught immeadiately! The reading skills really work. I can now read at 500wpm instead of 235wpm. It was helpful to read the time mgt. info. I have set my goal grid to get my system in place and working for me. I will use the burn-out information to help me with my family and my coworkers. Thanks for the great and timely book Patricia!
