This simple planner is based on the Eisenhower Method as proposed by President Dwight Eisenhower.Organizing tasks using this method can increase productivity and reduce distractions.1. Tasks in Quadrant 1 are done immediately or given the highest priority.2. Tasks in Quadrant 2 are scheduled and done personally.3. Tasks in Quadrant 3 are delegated/delayed or moved to Quadrants 3 or 4.4. Tasks in Quadrant 4, being neither important nor urgent, are deleted.Another way to conceptualize the matrix is by priority. Quadrant 1 tasks are of the highest priority, while Quadrant 4 tasks are of extremely low priority.In addition to the matrices, this task planner also includes a simple To-Do list above each matrix. Included on the To-Do list are: reading, meditation, and exercise. Setting aside a moment each day to engage in these activities reduces stress and increases well-being.The reverse of each page is intentionally blank to provide space for notes or doodles.Dates are not included in this time management book, as there are ample calendars in the world. Rather, this book is intended to help you prioritize tasks and eliminate distractions. Thus, a matrix can carry over between days, or you could use multiple matrices in one day. For example, there can be a matrix for the day's tasks, another matrix for the month, and another for the year ahead.There is nothing fancy about this book. It is printed as a reasonably durable paperback with the intent that you can throw it into the recycle bin after filling it with tasks and completing those tasks.

The Wall Street Journal bestseller—a Financial Times Business Book of the Month and named by The Washington Post as “One of the 11 Leadership Books to Read in 2018”—is “a refreshingly data-based, clearheaded guide” (Publishers Weekly) to individual performance, based on a groundbreaking study. Why do some people perform better at work than others? This deceptively simple question continues to confound professionals in all sectors of the workforce. Now, after a unique, five-year study of more than 5,000 managers and employees, Morten Hansen reveals the answers in his “Seven Work Smarter Practices” that can be applied by anyone looking to maximize their time and performance. Each of Hansen’s seven practices is highlighted by inspiring stories from individuals in his comprehensive study. You’ll meet a high school principal who engineered a dramatic turnaround of his failing high school; a rural Indian farmer determined to establish a better way of life for women in his village; and a sushi chef, whose simple preparation has led to his unassuming restaurant being awarded the maximum of three Michelin stars. Hansen also explains how the way Alfred Hitchcock filmed Psycho and the 1911 race to become the first explorer to reach the South Pole both illustrate the use of his seven practices. Each chapter “is intended to inspire people to be better workers…and improve their own work performance” (Booklist) with questions and key insights to allow you to assess your own performance and figure out your work strengths, as well as your weaknesses. Once you understand your individual style, there are mini-quizzes, questionnaires, and clear tips to assist you focus on a strategy to become a more productive worker. Extensive, accessible, and friendly, Great at Work will help us “reengineer our work lives, reduce burnout, and improve performance and job satisfaction” (Psychology Today).
