About this title

About the Author:

Kate Kelly is a staff reporter for The Wall Street Journal and a former reporter for Time magazine and the New York Observer. She attracted international attention for her three-part series of articles on Bear Stearns, which ran on the front pages of The Wall Street Journal in May 2008. This is her first book. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.

From Booklist:

Is there one person today (aside from those living in remote areas, perhaps) who has ever mentioned having a surfeit of time? To the rescue of time-starved individuals come Eisenberg and Kelly, who have carved a decent career out of helping others save minutes, hours, even days. The trick, of course, is setting goals, establishing priorities, and learning to say no. Along the way, the authors offer advice on mail handling, delegating, promptness, and at least 19 other "get organized" chores or tasks that manage to devour valuable time. Of most interest are the summaries at the end of every chapter ("checkpoint and review") and the list of 170 ways to do things better, from sending postcards instead of letters to preparing a written agenda for all meetings. Helpful, sound, sense-filled recommendation; but who's got the time to read and digest and implement? Barbara Jacobs
