    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The strategies in this book will not solve the underlying problem, but they should help you create enough space and time to read, digest, and apply them. They will help you do less, do things quicker, or feel more in control.

    #2 The word because has a magic that makes people believe there is a good reason for what you are asking them to do. It is important to use this word when asking for things, as it will make your request seem more reasonable.

    #3 The brain needs its downtime. Be deliberate and intentional when you check in on mail and messages. Set specific times aside to do it in a focused way, rather than constantly grazing.

    #4 The internet and email notifiers are among the biggest culprits for gratuitous task-switching. When we take a peek at new messages, we distract ourselves and reduce our efficiency.

      #1

      The strategies in this book will not solve the underlying problem, but they should help you create enough space and time to read, digest, and apply them. They will help you do less, do things quicker, or feel more in control.

      #2

      The word because has a magic that makes people believe there is a good reason for what you are asking them to do. It is important to use this word when asking for things, as it will make your request seem more reasonable.

      #3

      The brain needs its downtime. Be deliberate and intentional when you check in on mail and messages. Set specific times aside to do it in a focused way, rather than constantly grazing.

      #4

      The internet and email notifiers are among the biggest culprits for gratuitous task-switching. When we take a peek at new messages, we distract ourselves and reduce our efficiency.

      #5

      Meetings are a major source of busyness. They are on the increase, and have been increasing steadily in frequency and duration since the 1960s. Yet, the value of many of these meetings is questionable.

      #6

      To determine if you can do something, consider how long it will take, all the things you already have on your plate, and make a judgment. Then, ignore your assumptions and get it wrong.

      #7

      The Zeigarnik effect can be used to help you get started working on a task sooner. Simply start working on the problem for about twenty minutes, and then leave your subconscious to work its magic. When you finally begin the task in earnest, your thinking and ideas will flow.

      #8

      The brain works similarly to a computer. It has a limited processing power. Any thoughts, worries, or ideas that you’re holding on to are reducing your processing speed. So don’t.

      #9

      Smiling is good for you, and it reduces stress. It also releases endorphins, which makes you feel better. So don’t take your life so seriously, and smile more often.

      Insights from Chapter 2

      #1

      The first face of busy is the experience of racing and cramming, which leaves us feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. We must accept that we will never be in control again. We should aim to gain a sense of mastery by letting go of our need for control, by making brutal choices, and by managing our attention.

      #2

      The movie Mary Fiore, played by Jennifer Lopez, is a good example of how people with excellent organizational skills look like they don’t have any at all. They make it seem so easy, and their control is so effortless.

      #3

      The usefulness of time management gets less and less as the quantity of information, communication, and expectation increases. You should instead accept that you will never be in control again, and that not being in control is okay.

      #4
