With insistent cell-phone calls, incessant e-mails, and the constant temptation to surf the web or troll social media sites, digital distraction is one of the most challenging problems business professionals face in the Too Much Information Age. It steals their time, wastes their money, and generally decreases their ability to react creatively and coherently to today's ever-changing business environment.
Sorry, I Have to Take This tackles digital distraction head on. Drawing upon a decade of practical experience helping business professionals overcome this problem, Rust and Kramer teach professionals how to utilize three seemingly simple principles-Focus, Concentration, and Authenticity.

They then follow this story with a summary of their most important points coupled with practical tips on how to implement them and assessments to help readers measure their progress.
This is a wonderful book ... anyone who reads Sorry, I Have to Take This will find themselves stopping and rethinking their use of digital technology in all aspects of their lives. David Rust and Bradley Kramer's principles of 'Actual reality is better than virtual reality' and 'Quality of the day' would make anyone rethink their use of cell phones and iPads. If you are looking to improve your quality of life, this is a must-read book.
-Nolan D. Archibald, Chairman and CEO, Black & Decker Corporation for 24 years

Sorry, I Have To Take This correctly emphasizes the importance of these qualities as well as identifies practical ways to implement them despite the challenges of today's digital technology.

One of the biggest excuses for not creating the change we want is that we are convinced we just don't have the time. We're already on overload. How can we possibly fit one more thing in? We're convinced we have not a moment to do those things we have to do, much less what we yearn most to. It Takes An Egg Timer, a Guide to Creating the Time for Your Life intends to prove that excuse wrong. You do have enough time-for everything you have to do and want to, and then some. It's just a question of what you are letting get in the way. This is not your typical book on time management. It is part guide and part manifesto. It offers uncomplicated solutions that start with a very simple tool, the egg timer. It is written not just for the self-employed and entrepreneurs struggling to keep themselves on task, productive and happy but also for those who simply dream about making a change in their life, big or small, and are convinced that what is stopping them is not enough time. Informative and entertaining, It Takes An Egg Timer will inspire and motivate you to examine how you use and misuse your time. At the end you will no longer ask yourself whether you have the time to do what you want, but what you will do with it now that you've found it.

"a gift to any busy minister" - Dr Tim Ling

Beyond Busyness is a practical and effective step towards connecting up the limitations of time with the demands and realities of ministry. It helps ministers to take positive steps in developing a time wisdom which will help them navigate the very considerable pressures that many currently face.

"Beyond Busyness abounds with practical wisdom for those engaged in Christian Ministry. At a time when busyness, anxiety and stress characterise the lives of many of the Church's ministers, Stephen Cherry has written a much-needed book. It very effectively challenges ministers to reflect on how they approach and use the gift of time. Each of the short 28 sessions offers considerable insight into the nature of time and encourages ministers to confront their current habits and develop new life-giving practices through which their ministry can thrive and they can flourish. Every minister should spend time not only reading Beyond Busyness but integrating its wisdom into their lives." - DR JOCELYN BRYAN, Director of Postgraduate Studies, St John's College, Durham University

Effective time-management techniques to revolutionise the way you work! Do you struggle to get everything done in the time you have available? Are you deluged with interruptions to your work flow? Do you find it difficult to prioritise your tasks and wish you were more organised? Today's working environment moves at a very fast pace and, at times, it can be difficult to keep up. Expectations are high, and there are so many things competing for our attention. On top of the workload, we're interrupted by the phone ringing, e-mails landing in the inbox, people dropping in the office and, before we know it, the day has passed and we've only achieved half of what we intended to do. If any of this sounds familiar, then this book is for you! Essential Time Management and Organisation will help you transform the way you work and regain control of your working day. This clear and concise guide offers tried and tested techniques for organising your time and achieving your goals.

We are the always-on society. On the phone, on the computer, on the go. We do email like Pavlov's dogs; the new-mail bell dings, the screen exerts its magnetic pull, and our mouths start watering (at least mentally). We check our phones waiting in line, while talking to others, even while driving. We spend hours in ineffective meetings, re-deciding what we thought we'd decided in the previous meeting. We scurry through the warrens of the Internet, chasing after an elusive link (or the latest sports score) as if it were a white rabbit with a pocket watch. We're trying to ride off in all directions at once. It's neither fun nor efficient. It isn't low-stress, either. It's also avoidable, or at least controllable. What we need is an off switch. Actually, we need a collection of off switches. Just as each room in the house has its own lights with their own off switches, each of these threats to productivity (and sanity) have off switches. This straightforward and highly focused book defines those off switches. It describes how and when to use them, and it does so in simple, readable terms that lead to action and results. Author Steven B. Levy takes a new look at attention, focus, efficiency, and effectiveness. He shows readers how to escape the trap of the tense present, how to stop bouncing from mini-task to mini-task. Reduce interruptions and partial-attention tasks, and we reduce stress as we build effectiveness as workers and as leaders. Levy's book shows us how we can accomplish more with the same amount of effort. We need to find the off switches in our workplaces and working lives, and flip them. That's the process of discovering our work-work balance... which is the first necessary step in achieving a long-term work-life balance.
