WORK SMART, Not Hard! In this book, you will learn to: * Accept change as a positive and upwardly mobile step rather than a frightening experience you shy away from! * Delegate and take multi-tasking to a new level! * Never be late for a deadline or forget a task again! * Happily take on projects and assignments rather than shudder every time your manager walks in the door! * Effectively and clearly communicate avoiding unnecessary work and misunderstandings. * Organize your work in a way that makes you feel that you only have one thing to do! * Become stress-free and never be overwhelmed again! This is what readers have had to say! As a litigation attorney, it is imperative that I do not miss a single deadline. I consider the PEND system outlined in this book to be a crucial tool in my law practice. Todd McMurtry, Attorney at Law A great desk companion and resource that every level of employee can utilize! Ann Wolf, Human Resources Manager The PEND system is a lifesaver. It really does keep clutter at bay and your mind worry free! Meg Frodge, Employee Support Manager Let’s face it, we all want more time! Time is the new currency. This book shows the way. Mark Balasa, Sales & Marketing Manager

This review is from: WORK SMART, Not Hard!: Organizational Tips and Tools That Will Change Your Life! (Paperback)

In each chapter I learned a valuable tip in getting organized and being productive by Working Smart, Not Hard! "CHANGE IS GOOD!" chapter taught me to be open minded to new ideas and accept change in a healthy and positive way. "The PEND System" is a simple tool yet very effective. If you want to be one of those people that are admired for getting everything done, having a PEND System will lead you on your way to that achievement. This book provides a wealth of information that will allow anyone to become more successful and organized in both their professional and personal life. As an Executive Assistant supporting 5 very busy managers, I implemented Jane's tools immediately and have found a much better sense of peace at work.

This review is from: WORK SMART, Not Hard!: Organizational Tips and Tools That Will Change Your Life! (Paperback)

This book is an easy read, and is packed with so many tools that anyone can use to get organized. I started using some of the ideas and tools about a year ago, and have gradually worked my way up to using them all. I feel so much more "on top of things" now. I recommend this book to everyone - even those who think that they are already masters of organization. (Because I thought that I was, but these tools enhanced some of what I was doing, and totally changed other habits that I had formed!) If you are interested in growing professionally and being organized in work and home life, then this book is a must read!

This review is from: WORK SMART, Not Hard!: Organizational Tips and Tools That Will Change Your Life! (Paperback)

Everyday when I came in to work, I felt defeated even before my day began. Tasks would already be piled up in my email inbox and I could not wrap my mind around all of the different tasks and projects coming at me. So I began a search of ways to become more organized thinking that would help, and I found WORK SMART, Not Hard. I read the book in under an hour and began implementing some of the ideas, and already my desk is cleared of clutter, my files are organized, and I am not constantly writing little post-it notes everywhere as reminders. It takes awile to really implement new habits but these ideas have helped me. I highly recommend the book. It is an easy read and a great desk companion.
