We live in busy times. Our task lists and responsibilities are constantly growing. Effectiveness is key. Doing two or more things at the same time proves ineffective. True multitasking is a myth - no one should expect it to work. However, it is possible to deal with our e-mail, events, and tasks in a manner that appears simultaneous from the perspective of hours and days. This is what I call "effective multitasking." Studies found that most people, regardless of their company and position, are struggling to keep up with their e-mail, task lists, and calendars. This book introduces a framework based on 7 surprisingly simple habits that will help you organize, reduce stress, relieve your mind and find a natural style of organization. The simplicity of these habits makes them a powerful tool for professionals. "Effective Multitasking" is filled with techniques and practical examples explaining how to handle multiple projects, prioritize and delegate tasks, and manage your e-mail inbox and calendar. It is a fantastic tool for people working in large organizations overburdened with many incoming messages and constant priority changes. Visit www.effectivemultitasking.com.
Most people often misunderstand time management. They see it in a very limited sense as synonymous to constructing the timetable of daily or weekly activities and strictly following that schedule. Some sophistication is added to the process by introducing prioritization of activities in deciding the calendar. But time management is much more than this. In this book it is described as taking control of our life and managing ourselves. It emphasizes on the correct choice of projects, tasks and activities related to your short-term, long-term and lifetime aspirations, objectives and goals. Therefore, a thorough knowledge of time management in its new avatar becomes imperative. To facilitate gaining the knowledge in this important subject in the shortest possible time, the authors Shyam Bhatawdekar and Dr Kalpana Bhatawdekar included only the appropriate "essentials" of time management in the book. The authors are top-notch business executives, highly sought after business and management consultants, eminent management gurus, authentic human behavior experts and prolific authors. So the book becomes an authentic document.
