The “productivity guru” updates his renowned organizing and time-management program to help workers and managers stay on top of their game in an increasingly changing work environment.
Organizing for Success, Second Edition provides simple, remarkably effective time management technique to help reders get two extra productive hours out of every day. The book uses “The Master List” concept to show readers how to budget their time and energy by the day, week, and month.
You will learn how to quickly prioritize their goals, complete tasks on time and under budget, and even helps readers plan for the interruptions, urgent emails, and unexpected meetings that will inevitably attack their day. This new edition places heavier emphasis on technology, including advice on how to write, manage and file email more effectively; how to use Lotus Notes and Microsoft Office to streamline the day; and how to use devices like Blackberries and social media as assets and time-savers, rather than as distractions and time sinks.
Based on the time management principles Kenneth Ziegler developed and that have worked for corporations such as Hertz, Toys “R” Us, The Federal Reserve, The Comptroller of the Currency, Hormel, and Fidelity Investments, Organizing for Success Second Edition takes Ken Ziegler’s concept of “The Master List,” and shows readers how to budget their time and energy by the day, the week, and month. Far less complicated, much easier to use, and more effective than the program in Getting Things Done, The Master List shows readers how to quickly prioritize their goals, get done what needs to get done on time and under budget, and even helps readers plan for the interruptions, urgent emails and unexpected meetings that will inevitably attack their day.
New to the 2nd edition:
- More tips on creating a manageable Master List of things to get accomplished, the most popular question he’s received from his classes in the last five years. The book also features information on getting a downloadable version of a “Master List” from the author’s website.
- A more specific time-management plan for organizing a more effective day, week, and month at work.
- A new chapter on managing, controlling and writing email—a huge issue for people in today’s corporate environment.
- A new chapter specifically devoted to maintaining email files—the second most popular question asked at Ken’s seminars.
- New information on how to delegate tasks to people in their office—even if they have no seniority over them—to work more efficiently.
- Using Microsoft Office and Lotus Notes to manage time better.
- New information on making meetings more effective—even if you are not running them.
- A brand new chapter on making the new changes to your life stick!
