For me, that’s a big proposition and a bold statement, so I would never even pretend to be the one to tell you how to even think about starting to get a handle on what it takes to get an inkling of how to even conceptualize the possibility of getting even a loose handle on your workday–let alone MASTERing it.
Fortunately, there is someone that can help and he’s been kind enough to put his wisdom in a new book called, appropriately, Master Your Workday Now.
The author, Michael Linenberger, is a clear-headed, open-hearted guy (we’ve met a couple of times over the years and had dinner together recently–so I’m speaking from experience) with a Master-level knowledge of what Workday Mastery entails. Here’s how he lays out the book’s promise in the introduction:
“Workday Mastery is that feeling and knowledge that work is flowing
smoothly, that workday chaos is a thing of the past, that your goals are clear and obtainable, and that your career is developing just the way you want. Using this book, you can attain that experience of Workday Mastery.
“But as you may imagine, very few workers have that. Most people describe
their workday as a jumble of too much craziness and too little accomplishment.
This book is the answer to that craziness-and that lack of accomplishment-that so many of us feel.
“It provides proven solutions to the questions so many of us have: ‘How am I ever going to get all this done?’ ‘Is my life nothing more than e-mails and meetings?’ ‘Why do I feel so overwhelmed with work?’
“It also offers solutions to deeper questions about accomplishments: ‘How can I create goals that feel right and actually work?’ ‘How can I progress beyond a seemingly dead-end job and into a meaningful career?’ ‘Will I ever find truly
inspiring work?’
“Solutions to all these questions, and more, are found in this book.”
And if those are the solutions you’re looking for (join the club!), do yourself (and your business partners, and your customers, and your family) a favor and order a copy here: www.MasterYourWorkday.com
I’m looking forward to reading this book. I just finished reading “Execution:The Discipline of Getting Things Done” by Bossidy and Charan thinking it would offer some insight in helping my team and I prioritize our workloads better.
Although Bossidy and Charan’s book was excellent for “bigger picture” projects this book by Linenberger may be excatly what I was looking for.
Thanks
