Overwhelmed, Overworked, Overscheduled
— Darren Hardy, author of
The
Compound Effect

(the best book on changing habits) identifies the 3 distinctions that make
the difference between being an overwhelmed, overworked and overscheduled
overachiever and being a superachiever who produces stunning results with
less effort, less stress in less time, leaving lots of time to experience
your hobbies and be with your family. Perfect for your January monthly management
meeting or to watch on your own
– the equivalent of reading one book
this month.
