Your book Manage Your Time To Reduce Your Stress --- just like
The Procrastinator's Handbook --- came to me during one of the
roughest periods of my life when I needed it the most. And both times,
your books saved me. Without your recent book, I don't think I would
have been able to calm down and settle my thoughts amidst all the chaos
of moving from San Francisco to Tokyo. Especially considering that I
ended up with jury duty in the midst of it all! But I did have your
book, and I was able to manage my time to reduce my stress, just like
you said I could. Watch me Rita, I'm going to work your techniques and
make you proud!

A buoy for those drowning from too much to do, but not enough time in
which to do it, Emmett (The Clutter-Busting Handbook) focuses on
developing self-care and time management skills. Warning that people
should don their own oxygen mask before assisting others, the author
argues persuasively for taking responsibility for one’s own needs and
happiness. A mantra of excellence over perfectionism drives many of the
book’s lessons, and work sheets and the author’s fresh voice make this
slender volume a quick and thoughtful read.

“In her new book, Manage Your Time to Reduce Your Stress, author
Rita Emmett names time as our biggest
tormentor and ‘busyness’
our great curse. ‘Time management doesn’t mean running around like a
nut doing 20 things at once,’ she writes. ‘True time management
means actually spending as much of your time as you can doing those
things you want to do.’ She acknowledges that we need to make time
for gainful employment but advocates giving equal priority to such
things as family, good books, ice skating, and lazy Sundays.”

Manage Your Time to Reduce Your Stress by Rita Emmett,
and change your life
St. Paul Books Examiner Julia Parent
This may be shocking, but people are not supposed to be stressed
all the time. In this handbook, the author gives tips on how to stop
feeling overworked, overscheduled, and overwhelmed. Stress is
inevitable, but most of it is self-inflicted. Instead of dreading
all the things we have to do in a day, we can enjoy every minute of
it. One of the ways she suggests to do this, is to think about what
you'd like your life to be like in ten years. Make a things "To-Do
List" and a things "Not-To-Do List" to get there. Then, start taking
baby steps. You may need to go out of your comfort zone by saying
no, delegating work, setting boundaries, and giving yourself pats on
the back. But, the commitment to yourself will be worth it. Once you
start freeing up more time to do what you enjoy, you'll start
feeling happier and healthier. To request this nonfiction book from

MANAGE YOUR TIME TO REDUCE YOUR STRESS: A
Handbook For The Overworked, Overscheduled, and Overwhelmed
by
Rita Emmett
This book has eight chapters of
no-nonsense advice, strategies and goal setting. I like it because
it is simple to read and practical to use.
Stress is in the
mind of each one of us. It is not a single event or situation, but
how we interpret the event or the situation. An event that is stress
producing for you, may be enjoyable for me. It's all a matter of how
you look at it.
Emmett includes the following three
questions we should ask ourselves regularly, just to take our stress
temperature:
1. Do I work long hours because I'm passionate
about my work or because I am afraid not to?
2. Right now, is my
work exhausting or exhilarating?
3. Do I have some source of joy
in my life?
"Burnout often happens when your stress, work,
or frustration is greater than the reward, success, or appreciation
you receive." Emmett says.
This book is filled with ideas that
work, that's why I like it. What do you think?
