    About this audiobook

    A self-improvement guru's inspiring and effective tips for gaining control of our Herculean workloads and overbooked personal lives.

    How often do you think to yourself, So much to do and so little time? In the sympathetic and insightful style of The Procrastinator's Handbook, Rita Emmett offers help for those of us with too much to do. The key is not time management but "stuff" management—taking control of all those tasks to do, people to see, commitments and obligations to fulfill. Mismanagement of all that "to-do" stuff is what leads to stress.

    We often have little control over the demands made upon us, yet we can control our response. That's where the management of stress must start.

    Emmett combines quick, easy-to-digest tips and infectious good humor to give readers positive ways to handle stress and their overly busy lives, first by understanding how stress impacts our physical, mental, and emotional health. She shows us how to cut down on distractions and interruptions that sap our concentration and energy, be more organized and streamline our duties, ask for help and be more selective about what we choose to do, and clarify our values and prioritize activities based on what is important. Spending time doing things that are incongruent with your values, striving for perfection, being overly competitive, and job insecurity are some of the reasons people feel overburdened and overwhelmed. Emmett draws on the stories of many people who have participated in her seminars, and readers will not only identify with their problems but can find common ground in the strategies that have worked for them.

      HOW TO BE A morning person (OR AT LEAST FAKE IT)

      Jan 6, 2021

      When your alarm goes off and your body pleads for ‘a few more minutes’, just say no. You’ll only get an extra 10-15 minutes of sleep, and it’ll be very fragmented and not deep enough to feel restorative. So, rather than setting your alarm for 6.15am

      She is fun to listen to and the book is full of handy ideas
    • 4/5
      This was an easy-to-read (or listen to) book. Emmett gave lots of tips on how to manage your work time in order to give you time to take care of yourself. She gave a lot of personal anecdotes to back up her thoughts and ideas. There was nothing new or groundbreaking to her ideas, but she gave lots of validation for taking care of yourself and reiterated that taking care of your needs is not being selfish. She provided a lot of good points and stories on this subject. The best part of the audioversion was the author herself. She was just adorable. She would share a story or a quote and couldn't help but giggle and add side bits. Well worth listening to her.

      This book was very annoying and useless. I don't the author has the first clue about manage stress or what success really is.
