INTRODUCTION

“You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.” – Charles Roberts Buxton

Have you ever thought that if only you had another day—or even another hour you may actually get caught up on all the stuff on your to-do list? Do you feel constantly overwhelmed and unable to complete anything, or do anything well?

I suspect that it happens to most of us at one point or another. And fact of the matter is, we do it to ourselves. There are so many things we try to squeeze into our lives sometimes, that it is unreasonable to think that we can get them all done.

Now, I am sure you are thinking, “oh yeah, I’m busy. So busy I won’t be able to read a book about how to be less busy!”

I understand. And that is why, as I will show you later in the book, there is good multi-tasking and bad multitasking. I recommend this book be carried with you and read doing the following activities:

While in line at the bookstore. Buying this book now? While you are waiting in line to make the purchase, you can probably read the whole introduction!

While going to the bathroom (#2 of course). There isn’t too much else that can be done here. Might as well get some reading in.

During Commercials. Watching a TV show in real time? There are approximately 2 minutes of commercials at every break. That is enough time to read about 2 pages.

Waiting for your PC to Boot up, (or run a virus scan). Keep the book handy, so during those inconvcenient computer slow-downs, you can still get something done.

While you are refraining from using the "approved electronic devices." Prior to being told you can use your laptop, or PSP on board a plane, this book is the perfect way to kill 20 minutes.

While Cooking Food in the Microwave. Most things take 2-4 minutes to cook in the microwave. Take the time to read a page or two.

Before the Meeting Starts. We area society of meetings--but don't let that time before the meeting starts, or while waiting for someone to show up be wasted. Read!

-----so I am accepting other suggestions on times to read... or feedback on the above. Let me know - thanks - Meg
