The world has changed. It is more complex and much faster-paced than it used to be. New communication technologies have changed the business world entirely, and the demands have risen considerably. Unfortunately, most time management approaches have not grown proportionally. Exactly that is what this book sets out to change: we are talking real improvements with a focus on goals and productivity, without loosing sight of factors such as stress and satisfaction. In addition to useful strategies you will receive 40 concrete tips on how to save time, covering (among others) topics such as dealing with interruptions, retaining sovereignty over your own time, and stress reduction.
