Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This LARGE FORMAT WORKBOOK EDITION includes extra information, and helps you unpack the ideas and challenges with plentiful places to record your thoughts, explore questions and answers and apply what you are learning. "This is not just a book, it is a movement!" JS "Your book has changed how I look at EVERYthing. I'm realizing how hard I've been searching for an answer to what hasn't been working for me, not just in writing & publishing, but in how I manage my professional life, in general. This is the first morning in decades that I woke up feeling calm and unhurried. That's not hyperbole. I've spent most of my professional life feeling rushed, as if I were seeking something that was eluding me. Your book provided the key. Thank you!" EM I just signed in to my KDP publishing account and checked out the report for my royalty earnings over the past two years (May 15 - May 17). Incredibly it reads $207,628.04! Well, it's incredible to me anyways, because I know how long and hard the journey to this point has been. I started my self publishing adventure long before Kindle was even a twinkle in Amazon's eye, on a photocopier and armed with a long-armed stapler. My books had to be short in those days, because they wouldn't stay closed if I tried to fold too many pages. Amazingly, I still publish short books. Lots of them. As a fellow indie author and self-publisher I know well the pressures that can prevent your publishing dreams taking full shape. The daily demands, and propensity to procrastinate, the insecurity - all conspiring to keep you one step behind your break-through. Sometimes it feels like you are chasing your own tail. We know, as self-publishers, that there is a lot more to this gig than just writing. It can become overwhelming. I started asking how I could better run my business to free me to do just the things I loved and felt called to do. I wanted to create a watertight streamlined system that facilitated massive growth without killing me and destroying my wife and kids in the process. I now only have to work a few hours a week to keep my self publishing business running and flourishing - I'm free to write and create as I please. This book contains the tried and tested keys that took me from a struggling and overwhelmed indie author, to a six-figure publishing business that virtually runs on auto-pilot. Most productivity books center on teaching how to do more. This is a book all about doing less! Trash your busy-ness and build a knockout self-publishing business that works for you, instead of you working for it. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: David Lee Martin is a successful self-publishing author, who runs a healthy six-figure publishing business using the very keys and concepts he shares in this book. He is known for his transparency and ability to communicate with honesty concepts and practical pathways to rock your own publishing business and take it to the next level. This LARGE FORMAT WORKBOOK EDITION includes extra information, and helps you unpack the ideas and challenges with plentiful places to record your thoughts, explore questions and answers and apply what you are learning.

Book excerpt: “The 5 Choices provides the methods to get the right things done, not try to get everything done, and to feel like you made a meaningful contribution at the end of the day.” —Kevin Turner, former COO of Microsoft For fans of Deep Work, Great at Work, and the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The 5 Choices is an essential guide for understanding productivity and time-management in the 21st century. Every day brings us a crushing wave of demands: a barrage of texts, emails, interruptions, meetings, phone calls, tweets, breaking news—not to mention the high-pressure demands of our jobs—which can be overwhelming and exhausting. The sheer number of distractions can threaten our ability to think clearly, make good decisions, and accomplish what matters most, leaving us worn out and frustrated. From the business experts at FranklinCovey, The 5 Choices is an exploration of modern productivity. It offers powerful insights drawn from the latest neuroscience research and decades of experience in the time-management field to help you master your attention and energy management. The 5 Choices is time management redefined: through five fundamental choices, it increases the productivity of individuals, teams, and organizations, and empowers individuals to make selective, high-impact choices about where to invest their valuable time, attention, and energy. The 5 Choices—like “Act on the Important, Don’t React to the Urgent” and “Rule Your Technology, Don’t Let It Rule You”—will not only increase your productivity, but also provide a renewed sense of engagement and accomplishment. You will quickly find yourself moving beyond thinking, “I was so busy today, what did I actually accomplish?” to confidently realizing “I did everything I needed to accomplish today—and did it meaningfully.”

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling authors of Sprint comes “a unique and engaging read about a proven habit framework [that] readers can apply to each day” (Insider, Best Books to Form New Habits). “If you want to achieve more (without going nuts), read this book.”—Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit Nobody ever looked at an empty calendar and said, "The best way to spend this time is by cramming it full of meetings!" or got to work in the morning and thought, Today I'll spend hours on Facebook! Yet that's exactly what we do. Why? In a world where information refreshes endlessly and the workday feels like a race to react to other people's priorities faster, frazzled and distracted has become our default position. But what if the exhaustion of constant busyness wasn't mandatory? What if you could step off the hamster wheel and start taking control of your time and attention? That's what this book is about. As creators of Google Ventures' renowned "design sprint," Jake and John have helped hundreds of teams solve important problems by changing how they work. Building on the success of these sprints and their experience designing ubiquitous tech products from Gmail to YouTube, they spent years experimenting with their own habits and routines, looking for ways to help people optimize their energy, focus, and time. Now they've packaged the most effective tactics into a four-step daily framework that anyone can use to systematically design their days. Make Time is not a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, it offers a customizable menu of bite-size tips and strategies that can be tailored to individual habits and lifestyles. Make Time isn't about productivity, or checking off more to-dos. Nor does it propose unrealistic solutions like throwing out your smartphone or swearing off social media. Making time isn't about radically overhauling your lifestyle; it's about making small shifts in your environment to liberate yourself from constant busyness and distraction. A must-read for anyone who has ever thought, If only there were more hours in the day..., Make Time will help you stop passively reacting to the demands of the modern world and start intentionally making time for the things that matter.
