This book builds on Morgenstern's Organizing from the Inside Out and enhances her three step program of Analyze, Strategize, Attack. It includes a quick start program with her WADE technique and time mapping tools.
Building on his "Workday Now" organizational approach, Linenberger uses Control, Create, Connect to connect or remind us of what personally inspires us in our jobs. He builds on those inspirations to identify vision goals and organizational approaches to meet those goals.
Allen's premise - our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve effective results and unleash our creative potential. He provides tips on overall organization, email management, goals and shifting priorities, and overcoming feeling overwhelmed.
Building on his Getting Things Done approach, Allen provides 52 tips on implementing his approach. Each tip is a page or two - very easy to incorporate in a daily or weekly personal development plan to improve efficiency and organization.
How Full Is Your Bucket? reveals how even the briefest interactions affect your relationships, productivity, health, and longevity. Organized around a simple metaphor of a dipper and a bucket, and grounded in 50 years of research, this book will show you how to greatly increase the positive moments in your work and your life -- while reducing the negative.
Daniel Goleman offers a groundbreaking look at today’s scarcest resource and the secret to high performance and fulfillment: attention. He shows why high-achievers need all three kinds of focus (inner, other, and outer), and explains how those who rely on Smart Practices - mindfulness meditation, focused preparation and recovery, positive emotions and connections, and mental "prosthetics" that help them improve habits, add new skills, and sustain greatness - excel while others do not.
Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant - in the blink of an eye - that actually aren't as simple as they seem. It reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing" - filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.
Psychologists have discovered that our minds are ruled by two different systems - the rational mind and the emotional mind - that compete for control. The rational mind wants a great beach body; the emotional mind wants that Oreo cookie. In Switch, the Heaths show how everyday people - employees and managers, parents and nurses - have united both minds and, as a result, achieved dramatic results. In a compelling, story-driven narrative, the Heaths bring together decades of counterintuitive research in psychology, sociology, and other fields to shed new light on how we can effect transformative change. Switch shows that successful changes follow a pattern, a pattern you can use to make the changes that matter to you, whether your interest is in changing the world or changing your waistline.
