If you have read the Amazon book reviews you already know the story is about a woman who is in her “mid-life” crisis age.  She is in a “funk” and decided to sell everything and go on a six month road trip with a travel companion named Zeke Powell.  It’s a fast reading book which I enjoyed reading in two short days.  Maybe it’s because I can sympathize with the character as I am in the mid-life crisis myself but not going to extremes as (Rose “Manny” Mankowski).  If you want a story which brings exciting adventures, and learning how to rediscover yourself this book will appeal to you.  © 2013 Jackie Paulson

This is a must read for anyone who wants to manage their time!

Part I- “It’s about time” is about getting real about where your time is spent.

Part II-“Systems” planning, interruptions, meetings, email, clutter.

Part III- “Habits”

Part IV- “This is the time”

There are worksheets to help you along your journey to manage your time.

  1. I learned how to read faster by choosing a quiet place, be awake, committed to it
  2. Read the Table of Contents
  3. Read the fist paragraph, subheadings the last paragraph
  4. Read with device to move your fingers along quicker down the page
  5. Skip words that are common

You are the master of your time and not a victim of other people’s agenda.

Busyness keeps you away from being present in the moment.

This is a thought provoking book that needs to be soaked up like a sponge especially is you procrastinate.  The website gives free worksheets to print out too!  Let me know if you like it, I did.
