| This specially priced collection includes: |
|
| How to Mitigate the Urgent to Focus on the Important |
|
| Offers simple techniques to help you get to the work that furthers your personal and professional goals — rather than getting caught up by the brush fires and busywork that can consume your time. |
|
| How to Write To-Do Lists That Work |
|
| Warns against confusing to-dos with goals or projects. A to-do is one specific action, like "call Jim." When you break a task down to its smallest steps, you'll move through that list more effectively. |
|
| The Art of the Self-Imposed Deadline |
|
| Suggests ways to structure your workload — start your day as early as possible, do similar tasks back-to-back, and break big projects up so that you finish the longest part first. |
|
| Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time |
|
| Emphasizes that time is a limited resource, so you run out of it, become exhausted, even quit. Energy, however, is renewable. The body, emotions, mind, and spirit can all be renewed. |
|
| Management Time: Who's Got the Monkey? |
|
| Explains how to avoid taking on "monkeys" — your subordinates' problems. Focus on developing and empowering your direct reports and free yourself to focus on your real job. |
