Recommendation

Somehow Laura Stack, the “Productivity Pro,” makes greater efficiency at home seem easy to attain. She encourages systematic, thorough evaluation of your time-management strengths and weaknesses, and lays out the “eight pillars” that form the foundation for a smoothly functioning life. Her workbook is not a quick read, but it’s full of organizing tips and useful recommendations on where to find the tools and resources you need to de-clutter. getAbstract recommends this how-to manual for those who want to have it all, including free weekends.

Take-Aways

  • Establish an overall plan and routines to keep chores from overwhelming you.
  • Organize the “eight pillars” of your life: “plans, priorities, personality, pests” (that is, pesky problems), “possessions, paper, posts” (errands you can outsource) and “play.”
  • Evaluate your priorities. If family time is most important, cut back on TV.
