Secrets to Effective Time Investment

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed and frustrated? Our friend Elizabeth of @RealLifeE has a new book to help you! We’ve implemented several of her suggestions in our daily activities and these ideas have helped us manage the crazy demands of business and life in general. We work in an industry that expects quick response and availability 24×7. Those expectations can tend to be overwhelming!

The section that focused on various personality traits and how understanding those traits and tendencies from a perspective of getting things done was extremely helpful. Our office may be small, but we have many different personality types and benefited from her insight and suggestions.

If your interested in some great ideas on the best way to utilize your time, reduce your stress levels and start 2013 off on the right track please check out her book :
