When I read a book with a title like this I think “I could have written that” as I am always trying to find ways to streamline my life and find ways to make it so much easier. It is how my Dotty Diary was born!
This is a little book, just 100 pages but it is bursting with fantastic time saving tips, with 21 chapters that give you great advice on a theme. Such as “handle it once”. This is such a great tip and one that adopted years ago. Paperwork comes in and I deal with it, and then file in diary or file away. It doesn’t get put to one side lost for a month and then waste time as I hunt for it. Grace Marshall gives great tips on this theme and how to deal with invoices / emails and to do lists. All that make perfect sense and that you can actually implement.
There is nothing worse than reading self help books and thinking “well that is all very well but …. “. This book is great.
My favourite chapter is “How to say No and stay nice”. I think I need to read this again and again. As I sit here with glandular fever and have been told to take it easy for three months!
All in all this is a great little book that really packs a punch and one that I am going to recommend to a few friends that are constantly swamped or chasing their tales!
It is available now from all good booksellers
