The Crazy Busy Cure
A productivity book for people with no time for productivity books
How we spend our time is one of the greatest indicators of how successful we will be. Do you feel in control of your day or do you feel constantly hijacked and distracted? When do you have time to pause, think strategically, take a step back, focus on what’s important, or do some deep work? Do you feel like you go the extra mile for your customers, but it’s never enough?
It’s not just you. We all feel overwhelmed, that everyone needs a piece of our attention and there’s not enough to go round. How many times are you interrupted every day? We switch from one task to another, like a never-ending game of Whack A Mole. Our days get longer and longer and work eats into our personal time.
Zena’s best-selling and award-winning book is full of practical tips to help you manage your time, energy and attention. It’s for everyone, particularly perfectionists, procrastinators, people who can’t say no, mother hen managers, control freaks and the overwhelmed.
