Productivity specialist Helene Segura has seen her clients succumb to all the pitfalls of overwork: executives whose marriages fall apart because they're never home or, when they are at home, don't pay attention to their family because they're still working; or those who work their tails off to succeed and end up working themselves into emotional overload by trying to juggle too many of life's pieces. For these people and all others who sometimes struggle with time management, Segura wrote The Inefficiency Assassin: Time Management Tactics for Working Smarter, Not Longer. We hope you'll enjoy this excerpt from the book.
