Book Description

Learn tried–and–tested methods for optimal personal productivity!

Ever find yourself more than a bit overwhelmed by the constant influx of e–mail and reminders as well as the ever–present calendars, to–do lists, miscellaneous paper, and sticky notes? Add to that, myriad devices that were originally intended to make us more efficient, but in reality, only end up forcing us to juggle even more. Our brains aren′t wired for all this, but we can learn to be productive. Personal Productivity Secrets gives you everything you need to know to be organized, in control, and to get things done:

  • Understand how your brain absorbs, organizes, and filters the daily deluge of information, and learn to trick your brain into being more productive
  • Appreciate the difference between “Time Management” and “Attention Management” and create workflow processes that help you defend your attention
  • Create a plan for navigating endless technology options, and implement tools that will keep you productive, focused and in control

Personal Productivity Secrets reveals updated and vital information for achieving your significant results, and being as productive as you can be in a fast–paced, technology–driven society.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book is a reference guide for changing your life to being sane and peaceful and I find myself picking it up time and time again to bring another area back into alignment. I have by no means accomplished everything that I know this book will help me to do but I am thrilled with the results so far…” Dani Meyer, The Adventure Bite blog

“In Personal Productivity Secrets, topics range from how to use an online calendar, address book and e–mail, to how to best use an online storage tool, to–do lists and a capture tool, all assisting you with regaining that focus and control, bringing you peace of mind, success and fulfillment. Whether you feel you need to make a drastic change in your life or you feel you have it together for the most part, Thomas can help.” Molly McManus, Austin Woman Magazine

Review

“Thomas′ book goes far beyond the ′how′ of being productive and provides a whole lot of ′why,′ delving into the nature of modern gadgets, media, software, social networks, and more. Highly recommended for those who feel they and their brains aren′t on the same page.”
Kevin Purdy, Writer and former Contributing Editor at Lifehacker
