100 Time Hacks for the Insanely Busy Woman is a gift to the modern woman. If you, like so many others, wear three hats at once and you know the value of recapturing a few minutes here and there, then this book is for you. I, like so many members of Generation-X, have been there and back, juggling career, family, and creative work along the way. My experiences as a military officer, a working mother, nontraditional student, Cub Scout leader, chemo-buddy, teacher, and entrepreneur have offered numerous opportunities to get really good at juggling-really, really good at juggling! Many of these lessons were learned the hard way, including some that amount to nothing more than common sense. It's embarrassing to admit it, but I know that when we are insanely busy, we don't always notice the simple, subtle ways that we might gain a little efficiency here and there. What if you could find simple ways to squeeze more and more life into every minute of every day? If you need more time to parent, more time to work, more time to learn, more time to have fun, more time to follow your dreams . . . this book is for you! The purpose of this book is to share ideas about squeezing more life into our days without driving ourselves and everyone else crazy in the process. In full disclosure, I must admit that I haven't always been very successful with the second half of that last suggestion, but I am constantly improving and hope that reading this little book will help you in that regard. In this book you will learn how to: -Squeeze more life into your busy day -Make the most of your time at home and at work -Find a little "me time" without neglecting your many responsibilities -Avoid time-consuming problems by investing mere seconds to prevent them -Identify repeating problems that will continue to cost you precious time if not addressed -Get focused and stay that way to maximize your productivity over the long haul
