About the Book

More demands on your time - that's just a fact of modern life. At some point in the past you were confident of staying on top of all your commitments. All you had to do was keep working hard. Now, by choice or circumstance, you are doing the job of more than one person. Each day you face more information than your grandparents saw in a month. Working hard is a requirement - but you must also manage email, social networks and content platforms for work and entertainment. Plus, you have to decide what to manage everything with...Which combination of a smartphone, tablet and computer should you employ? Are you using the right set of apps, software and programs on these devices? Will today's choices stand the test of time? In the meantime, the standard expectation is that you will stay on top of all the demands on your time from every source: job, profession, family, personal life, community. How do you save your peace of mind from the onslaught? If any of this fits, this book is for you - an ambitious, creative person who routinely generates more stuff to do than time available. You aren't average - traditional time management has been a concern of yours for a long time and you have already put some things in place which work well for you. However, there are signs that your current system may need an upgrade. Maybe it's a few tasks you forgot, some late arrivals to meetings, a recent missed deadline or a general growing feeling of being overwhelmed. You wonder what you could do differently. In Perfect Time Based Productivity you will learn from the author and hundreds of researchers that the vast majority of things you are already doing are correct. The issues you are facing actually come from the 5-10% of habits, practices and apps which need to be upgraded. The question is, how do you uncover them? Most people waste a lot of time wandering around the Internet in search of these improvement opportunities. This book teaches you that the answer lies within, beginning with an expert self-diagnosis following the ETaPS formula. 1 - *E*valuate your current skills using the most recent academic research condensed into easy-to-use forms. Draw a comparison between your performance and that of the world's best-in-class professionals. 2 - *Ta*rget a new end-state by creating a specific vision of the changes you want to make by certain dates. 3 - *P*lan these changes in small baby steps over months and years. 4 - *S*upport your plan so that new behaviors turn into habits. Before the last page, you redo these steps many times, giving you an easy way to improve time-based productivity skills you already possess. To complete the cycle effectively, Perfect Time-Based Productivity takes you through a broad range of new ideas based on recent research and case studies in fields such as psychology, business process management, adult learning, brain science and industrial engineering. Part One - You discover the concepts needed to shift from attempting to manage or control time (which is impossible) to managing *time demands* - the "individual, internal commitments made to complete actions in the future." Part Two - Using a number of forms provided you perform an evaluation of 7 essential skills: Capturing, Emptying, Tossing, Acting Now, Storing, Listing and Scheduling. Each self-evaluation is the precursor to creating a mini-improvement plan which goes into a single Master Plan, made up of small steps, that outlines your journey. Part Three - Learn about other advanced skills and perspectives needed to be effective in today's world: Switching, Interrupting, Reviewing, Warning, Flowing and Habiting. Also, discover how corporations have allowed individual effectiveness to devolve into a matter of chance, versus policy. Winston Churchill said: "To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often." It's the key to rescuing your peace of mind in today's evolving world.
