Too many things to do...And Not Enough You?

Microwaves, cell phones, Internet, e-mail, voice mail...Everything today is fast-paced. Life can become overwhelming if you do not possess the tools to keep up. We can easily lose track of what is really important to us in the middle of chaos. Life becomes a chore instead of an adventure. That just doesn't sound like much fun. Chuc Barnes offers his suggestions on how to get your life in line with your true desires. His focus is on sorting through all the chaos in your daily life and picking out just those things that are most important to you. Once you can get your focus on the important things, you can progress to your personal victory. Life becomes a journey leading to joy and happiness instead of just to completion. Chuc Banes teaches you how to become a self-manager who is effective (getting the right things done) as opposed to efficient (just getting things done.) He shows you how to become the "mother duck" in your life and lead your "baby ducks" (YOUR DREAMS and GOALS) to their destination. On the other side of the pond should be a feeling of satisfaction instead of a feeling of relief. Learn to RELAX and ENJOY LIFE! We found the information in this book to be excellent. The reason we gave this book a rating of only 4 (Very Good) is because the "he said, she said" portions were a bit much. We understand the use of examples, but after awhile they became overwhelming.

This is a powerful book

I picked this book up thinking it might help me with some time management issues. It went way beyond -- it is literally life-changing, because it shows that what we need to manage is not so much our time, but our priorities in life. The exercises are amazingly revealing and the advice is right on target.

Quack! Quack! Quack!

Thank you, Chuc Barnes, for helping me get those ducks lined up! Now I see how I am responsible for my priorities. This is going to make such a huge difference in my life and my accomplishments. Chuc really knows what he is talking about.

Focus on What Matters!

Chuc Barnes has done an admirable job of distilling timeless wisdom into a quick read, and providing readers with concretestrategies for making the most of your life and time. If you ever get a chance to hear him speak, take advantage of that opportunity. I keep this book on my desk for personal use, and a supply to give away as gifts. It'a a perfect gift for friends, colleagues, and clients.
