Are You Constantly
Running Out of Time?
This obsessive-compulsive father of 4 can
help you make sense of your time... and your life.
_Bailey is an up-and-coming hotshot realtor--she sold something like
17 houses her very first year. She's one of those women who's in
constant motion--checking her BlackBerry, speed-dialing clients and
contractors, and inhaling 3 triple espressos before breakfast._
_ Bailey hustles like the wind at the center of a hurricane._
_ Now, maybe you know her type. Or maybe you are her type._
_ Bailey is a pleasant, professional, and highly motivated. She's a
fierce negotiator, a stylish dresser, and knows more about the
foreclosure market than most 20-year veterans._
_ But as talented as she is..._
She Couldn't Be on Time
to an Appointment If Her
Life Depended on It!
_ To be blunt... Bailey's "time management" skills absolutely stink._
_ Now, I'm just throwing out a number her, but I'd be willing to bet
that if Bailey had had a better handle on her "time management"
skills... she could have sold 30 houses that first year._
-- from the Introduction to "How to Manage Your
Time and Organize Your Life"
As you know, trying to fit everything you need to do into a 24-hour
day is darn near impossible. After all, you have to deal with things
like...
The often-unreasonable and time-sensitive demands of your clients...
your co-workers... your spouse... and your kids.
An unending barrage of paperwork and clutter.
The unrelenting time pressures of unrealistic work deadlines,
carpool, having dinner with your family, etc... and all the crises
these can entail.
And this doesn't even count your _personal life_... you know, spouse,
kids, social life, exercise, and (ha, ha) taking the occasional moment
for yourself.
Let's face it, you could be given 50 hours every day and you might
_still_ feel lie you could only make a dent in everything you need to
do.
And _not_ being able to do it all causes constant stress... chaos...
and frustration in your life. Which is just plain an unhealthy way to
live.
But what if I told you there was a way to make your life _a lot_
easier. I'm not talking about some miracle cure, here... I mean, I
can't give you more hours in the day.
But I can sure as heck show you how to make those hours you do have
count a lot more than they do now.
What Can James Robert Gratiot
Teach Me That I Don't Already Know?
My name is James Robert Gratiot... and I wear a lot of hats in my own
life: father, husband, writer, author, and marketing consultant.
At the root of my existence is my own obsessive-compulsive disorder,
which makes me do crazy things like checking my alarm clock 50 times
before I go to bed... constantly making sure the stove and over are
off... and making a detailed, day-by-day list of every novel I want to
read for the next 40 years.
While my OCD might seem a bit strange, my condition has given me some
unique insights into time management and personal organization--which
are inexorably linked. I've learned a lot in the past 40+ years... and
I'm confident that I can teach _you_ several ways (hopefully without
the neurotic behavior) to better manage _your_ time and organize
_your_ life.
You see, I've written a short (97-page) book called "How to Manage
Your Time and Organize Your Life." And I've tried as hard as I can to
make it practical, easy-to-read, and gimmick-free.
You'll learn things like...
10 classic obstacles that make managing your time more difficult
(page 11).
The important difference between a "priority," a "goal," and an
"action step," and why understanding the relationship between them is
crucial to living a fulfilling life (page 20).
How shaving 6 minutes a day off your morning routine can earn you
an extra year of your life (page 41).
The two most important traits you must learn if you want to keep
people from wasting your time (pages 84-85).
How to methodically break down "unreachable" goals into tiny,
manageable action steps (page 28).
Why learning to say "no" might be the most important thing you ever
learn (page 84).
7 things that all successful goals have in common (page 30).
As you are undoubtedly reminded of every single day, the demands on
your time--both professionally and personally--are bordering on
insane. So this book will help you...
How to narrow the gap between how you _want_ to spend your time and
how you _actually_ spend your time (page 20).
The 3 vital parts of your to-do list--and there's a good chance
you're missing the last one! (page 52).
The surprising answer to the important question: "Why do we
organize?" (page 58).
How to conduct a Personal Time Survey--which will depress and
inspire you at the same time (page 35).
How to break your life down into 11 categories that will make it
easy to figure out your main priorities (page 21).
25 common time wasters that affect most people--how many are _you_
guilty of (page 40)?
How a mentor can save you decades of aggravation (page 33).
But this book doesn't _just_ address your career. Far from it. There
are some invaluable ways you can tidy up your personal life as well.
For instance, you'll learn...
7 vital habits you must learn to help keep your daily e-mail
avalanche under control (page 72).
5 ways to conquer procrastination--the "thief of time." (page 82).
9 ways to organize your work office for maximum effectiveness (page
60).
Why most meetings are pure evil--and 35 ways to make your meetings
infinitely more productive (page 74).
7 organizational tips to keep you from going crazy in your own home
(page 65).
8 ways to deal with the crushing piles of paper in your
office--also called _The Myth of the Paperless Office_ (page 63).
How to keep the telephone from sucking away precious minutes in your
day--both the calls you make and the calls you receive (page 67).
And if that's not enough, I'll dig even deeper and teach you
invaluable skills like...
The one thing you must have before you can effectively manage your
time--and I'm constantly amazed at how many people _don't_ have it
(page 18).
19 ways to make your to-do list work _for_ you rather than against
you (page 54).
The profound fact I learned in my 9th-grade history class that
completely changed the way I lived my life (page 25).
3 reasons why you _aren't_ living out your true priorities (page
22).
64 general time management and personal organization tips--for
those of you who would rather skim than read (page 89).
5 easy steps toward creating a to-do list that actually works (page
46).
How learning the delicate art of delegation can free you up to do
more important tasks (page 85).
Don't Pay $150 An Hour
To a Time Management Guru
Now, if you were to get desperate and run out and hire a "time
management guru," it would run you something like $150 an hour. And it
would come with strings attached... you know, courses to buy, seminars
to buy, you name it. By the time all was said and done, you would most
likely be "time wise but cash poor."
And I'll be honest, I could easily have dolled this book up with
meaningless charts and graphics, put it in a sturdy binder, stretched
it out to 250 pages... and sold it for $200 or $300.
But that strikes me as just a tad dishonest... and I'm not out to rip
anybody off. So I've made a point of charging a teensy-weensy fraction
of what a time management gury would cost... not to mention I don't
have anything else for sale. The price for this book is only $29...
whch comes out to less than 8 cents per day... less than you could
scrape together underneath your couch cushions.
That's 8 CENTS A DAY to learn how to dramatically and permanently
change your life. So that you career thrives... your relationships
thrive... and your whole life thrives.
