Book
The inefficiency assassin : time management tactics for working smarter, not longer / Helene Segura, MAEd, CPO®.
"Who doesn't complain about not having the time and energy they'd like for family, friends, and personal passions? Author Helene Segura coaches real people in the real world to shift past these issues. Her engaging program differs from others in the way it recognizes diverse learning styles - reflective learners, right-brained creative learners, and even "just give me a quick fix" types. Case studies allow readers to self-diagnose and zero in on the strategies most appropriate for them. These wonderfully do-able techniques - for creating clarity, digging out from a buried office, scheduling a variety of priorities, and even telephone and email control - apply to anyone wanting to streamline, downsize, and better manage their work and home lives. Segura's astute attention to personality allows The Inefficiency Assassin to meet readers where they are struggling and to detail quick and easy-to-implement strategies to, as Segura promises, "kick chaos to the curb."
