Book of the Month September 2019

 

Do you often feel overwhelmed and overly distracted? Do you work diligently for long periods of time but still find that you haven’t accomplished the main tasks on your agenda? If you answer yes to any of these, this month’s Book of the Month might be for you! Manage your Day-to-Day: Build Your Routine, Find Your Focus & Sharpen Your Creative Mind assembles advice on four key areas for success: building a solid routine , managing technology for better workflow and well-being, finding your focus in a world of distraction, and pushing through creative blocks. It details the ways we can stay on track throughout our day whether it be learning to stray away from multitasking, or using social media mindfully or even making time for solitude and mindfulness so as to tune into you and your creative mind. Whether for workplace or your academics, this book is geared towards helping people get rid of bad habits and hone in on new and good ones.

 

Manage Your Day-to-Day will show you how to:

  1. Stop letting other people (and incoming messages!) dictate your daily to-do list.
  2. Fend off constant interruption and carve out a sacred space for “getting into the zone”.
  3. Conquer information overload and break your addiction to obsessively checking your phone or email.
  4. Let go of the idea of “inbox zero” and optimize the time you spend on email and social media.
  5. Find the right balance of working productively and recharging to keep your energy high.
  6. Hotwire your brain for a-ha moments and push through creative blocks.
