If you find yourself going from high-energy and productive to chronically frustrated, pulled in a million directions, and unable to give your complete attention to anything — you may have what attention deficit disorder expert Dr. Edward Hallowell calls "culturally induced ADD." Similar to ADD, people who are crazy busy get easily distracted, have trouble prioritizing, and tend to procrastinate. There's simply too much demanding their attention: technological advances, longer work days, escalating demands, and rising expectations at home.
Just as ADD can be properly managed, our busy lives can be managed too. In this groundbreaking program, you'll build a manageable game plan for turning a hectic life into a fun, productive, rewarding, and satisfying one.
You will learn:
- 10 key principles for managing modern life
- The six-step plan for dealing with overload
- How to move from the F State (frenzied, flailing, fearful, forgetful, furious) to the C State (cool, calm, clear, consistent, curious, courteous)
- How to deal more effectively with cell phones and email so they don't overrun your life
- How to quantitatively rate how you're spending your time — and re-engineer your life based on your true priorities
- How to replenish and maintain energy throughout the day
- How to make work effortless on demanding days by getting into a rhythm and flow
- A seven-step plan for keeping your brain sharp and performing at its peak
- How to be fully present with family and friends — not just there in body while your mind is at work
If you're so busy that you're not enjoying much of anything, here's your opportunity to take back control, find genuine peace and contentment, and get more done than ever before.
