Success Strategies for the Crazy Busy
Summary
Gain a sense of order, peace, and contentment in a crazy busy world! You may thrive in an atmosphere of high adrenaline, high energy, and high excitement. But if you find yourself going the next step further, when you become so busy that you're not enjoying much of anything and feeling chronically frustrated, you have what attention deficit disorder expert Edward Hallowell, M.D., calls "culturally induced ADD". Similar to ADD, people who are crazy busy get easily distracted sidetracked, have trouble prioritizing, and tend to procrastinate.

However, just as ADD can be properly managed, our busy lives can be managed too. In this groundbreaking program, Success Strategies for the Crazy Busy, you'll build a manageable game plan for turning a hectic life into a fun, productive, rewarding, and satisfying life. For example, you'll learn: Ten key principles to managing modern life. The six-step plan in dealing with overload. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
