In Procrastinate on Purpose, self-discipline strategist Rory Vaden presents a different approach for how to identify and focus on what's important.

In this paradigm-shifting book, you will discover how to- Identify your most significant priorities, in business and in life Create more time to do the things you love without sacrificing results Say no to the things that don't matter, and yes to the things that do Implement systems that give you more time tomorrow than you have today Gain control and inner peace by adopting the 'multiplier mindset' Informed by Southwestern Consulting's work with thousands of busy clients, and interspersed with Vaden's case studies that reveal the 'multiplier mindset' at work, this insightful, practical book will turn everything you thought you knew about time upside-down-and it will change the way you work and live.

Download or read book You Can t Manage Time written by Susan De La Vergne and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's no such thing as ""time management"". Time can’t be made to last longer or spent faster than it comes. It can’t be saved up for later. It simply proceeds as it always has, uninterrupted, and all anyone can do is live within it.You Can't Manage Timeis a guide for overwhelmed professionals doing their level best to get it all done. However, the way to do it isn't by managing time but instead by managing yourself - your creativity, your energy, and your communication. Early on, the reader is invited to complete a short assessment ("Ask Yourself") aimed at identifying strengths and shortcomings relative to getting things done. The "Ask Yourself Score Sheet" organizes the responses into categories, six in all. Five of the six categories are squarely within an individual's direct ability to control and manage (for example, procrastination, professionalism, communications). The last category - "Beyond Your Control" - acknowledges that certainly there are things that fall out of the sky and land in your lap. The point of the book is that it is well within the reader’s power to improve significantly. More than a mere how-to, it's a book of encouragement and practical advice. The author also includes the practical application of emotional intelligence in the workplace, and there are a number of places where practical recommendations about handling the challenges of managing many priorities are linked to Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence model.
