From the Publisher

05/01/2016
For those who are feeling overwhelmed with work and family responsibilities, Segura (Road Map To Get Organized) shares words of wisdom. Not a friend of multitasking, the author proposes setting priorities (for the day), freeing oneself from annoying tasks, decluttering one's brain, space, and paperwork, and then processing tasks efficiently. The gist is to discover and align daily duties and responsibilities with what makes life purposeful. Segura is big on delegating, which may not work for everyone, but her filing system and assessments of time management will have broad appeal. VERDICT Though somewhat lengthy, this book is teeming with strategies for becoming more organized and effective.
