Slammed Succeeding in a World of Too Busy

SLAMMED: Definition (expr.) extremely busy, not having enough time to get everything done, having many responsibilities, unable to do some things because too busy with others, task saturated, overwhelmed with work. The effect of working more simply yields more work. Everyone we talk to feels Slammed, and we’re betting that you do too. If you are one of the millions of people who is burning the candle at both ends, juggling the demands of career and family, sacrificing health and sleep, drowning in “to do” lists or stooping under the burden of incredible responsibility, then this book is for you. And, if you think you are one of the rare few who believes you can actually manage a Slammed lifestyle indefinitely—this is a must read. Warning: This is not a time management book. We can’t time manage our way out of the Slammed lifestyle, but that doesn’t mean there is no solution. In this book we explore the real source of the Slammed phenomenon that is setting an unsustainable pace in our workplaces and our lives. We offer some simple, practical (and some harder, more complex) solutions for being more productive, improving the quality of your work, leading your business, and living your best un-Slammed life.
