In every walk of life, competent people are struggling to respond to the constantly rising pressure to squeeze more out of their working day. To meet this challenge, you need to be organized. This means being clear about priorities and being able to manage time, people, paper and technology effectively, in order to deliver the results on which you will be judged. "Organize Yourself" offers a concise, but comprehensive guide to improving all aspects of personal organization, including: determining goals and priorities; managing time; developing new work habits; improving decision making; working with others; organizing reading and paperwork; using technology productively; organizing office space; and maintaining effective filing systems. With the assistance of this book, you can make lasting changes to the way you work, and reap the benefits of greater organization. These include: less time spent fire-fighting and responding to crises; a sharper focus on the things that matter most in terms of producing results; the ability to see your way through complex problems and challenges; more time for family, friends and leisure; reduced stress and fatigue.

This review is from: Organise Yourself (Creating Success) (Paperback)

Just as you would hire specialists to organize your closets, use John Caunt's tips to organize your business and personal life. He offers creative ideas for individuals who perennially can't find their notes and miss their deadlines, and provides some modest but workable solutions to chaos and clutter. Getting organized may not seem difficult, if you are an organized person. If you aren't, Caunt understands. He has given this idea a lot of thought, and his useful book may help you overcome bad habits and become more productive. We recommend this easy-to-read handbook to disorganized people who have always wondered how the other half does it.
