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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is FANTASTIC!, June 9, 2009

By	Christine A. Brelsford - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic tools for organization, May 5, 2009

By	Debbie R. Farrell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't give up - get organized, February 2, 2009

By	Ann Wolf (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews

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.
