Book Description

September 14, 2010 Quick & Dirty Tips

Want to conquer your e-mail inbox once and for all? Need help getting organized and staying focused? Start reading! Millions of people already benefit from the innovative, time-saving tips that Stever Robbins dispenses each week in his #1 ranked Get-It-Done Guy podcast. Now he’s come up with a 9-step plan to transform even the most overwhelmed into an overachiever. You will learn to:

 

Beat procrastination by speed dating your tasks: You’ll face anything if it’s just for three minutes; schedule small, finite periods of time for those tasks that seem too overwhelming to get started on.

 

Give your technology a performance review: Our smart phones, PDAs, and computers often make less work in one area while making much more work in others. Review your technology to make sure it’s delivering on its promise.

 

Cut out the small talk: Small talk builds superficial relationships, which is a grand waste of time. Ask better questions to make instant connections that’ll benefit you for years to come. 

 
Written in the uniquely humorous style Stever is known for, Get-It-Done Guy’s 9 Steps to Work Less and Do More will help you break the bad habits slowing you down and holding you back. Work less and do more—your free time is waiting!

5.0 out of 5 stars A High Value Purchase September 14, 2010
By Breset
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is very much worth the purchase and worth the time to go over it in depth. Stever delivers well on the promise of increased efficiency, and is worth the read just for that, but the real bonus value he brings is the focus on what work in one's world is worth doing and what is just unnecessary treadmill running. Most productivity books and systems help in doing more work faster, and the innovation here is the simplification of one's effort to the work that is important.
I love the podcast, and the book brings a new Get-It-Done Guy experience in the crafted flow of ideas and logical progression. It's like getting to listen to Dark Side of the Moon as an album after only hearing it on shuffle.

Format:Paperback
Overwhelmed? Overworked? Don't feel there are enough hours in a day? Or, would you like to learn about how to refine some of your organization skills and work habits? Mr. Robbins has written this to help you work less and do more. It is an easy to read book that contains excellent ideas condensed into nine steps to help you work more efficiently but do less. The book is full of every day examples that help you relate the topic's objective with events in your life. (Well, with the exception of the Zombies. I can't say that I know too many individuals striving to put together a Zombie army.) Mr. Robbins writes with a flamboyant flair to help easily move you through the nine steps. You will find that each chapter ends with an outline of the important skills that correspond to the step being discussed. I like this because it provides me a quick reference list so that I can be sure I am on track and progressing. This book should not gather cobwebs from sitting on the shelf of your personal library. The content is fresh enough that it will appear that way each time the book is read. It is an excellent reference book that is to be used over and over to help you conquer working less, doing more, and enjoying the free time that is will be yours.

This book is helping me from my overkill suffering!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the podcasts and always learn a sniglet or two that help me manage my work load; The best thing I got from the book was the concept of separating administrative and focus days. As a college professor, it's far more satisfying (and do-able) to check things off the list... Read more
