More demands on your time - that's just a fact of modern life. You may be doing the job of more than one person and facing an onslaught of information, only to realize that ubiquitous, 24-7 technology has only made things worse. How do you stay ahead of the expectation that you should be able to meet all your obligations, old and new? In the face of these increasing pressures, what do you need to do to maintain your peace of mind? This book is primarily written for productive professionals who have already found a way to achieve positive results. They aren't clueless - time is an important concern and they have been able to manage their affairs well enough to get through school, hold a job, keep a family and enjoy life's benefits. However, if you belong to this group, you may share a concern: how can you be successful in the future, given the hot pace of change you see around you every day? Doing more of the same seems an unlikely answer. So does the conventional wisdom around "time management" and the popular tactic of following one-size-fits-all solutions. While the book has lots of specific, practical suggestions for new behaviors, at its heart is a four-step approach that preserves and builds on the advances that you have already made: Step 1; Evaluate your current skills against best-in-class standards, discovering strengths and improvement opportunities. Step 2; Set realistic targets for new behaviors that meet your unique, evolving needs. Step 3; Create a personalized plan from these new targets that allow you enough time to succeed, by taking small steps. Step 4; Craft your own habit change support environment. By the end of the book you will have completed these steps many times, giving you an easy way to rescuing your peace of mind.
