A Differ,
Elizabeth Saunders has distilled wisdom garnered from years of coaching clients into this book. Most of us reading time management books are looking for systems, and she has some very good ones, combined with excellent tips and tricks on how to go about implementing them. But her biggest insight is really more holistic. Simply put, it is the converse of the Golden Rule: do unto yourself as you would do unto others. Frequently we beat ourselves up for failure to live to outrageous demands and unrealistic expectations that we would never foist upon others. If instead we nurture ourselves and treat ourselves with kindness, we will not only achieve more, but revel in our work. An excellent read with a refreshing perspective.

|A friendly, yet practical, guide to a happier life,
I just finished Chapter 2 (Overcoming Crippling Emotions) and have certainly run the gamut of shame, fear, ambivalence, overwhelm, frustration, and guilt in my past life. What I like best is how the book pinpoints the exact thoughts (the very source) that can lead to these emotions and then counteracting them with healthier thoughts! This is reminiscent of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which enables you to challenge your beliefs while acknowledging the self-defeating attitudes and dealing with them in a healthy way. Elizabeth’s book would be excellent for health coaches and executive coaches to help identify self-defeating thinking patterns! I know it will help me in my health coaching practice for sure.

|Wonderful!! SO much more than time management,
This book is just perfect! As a bit of a perfectionist myself, other time management books often leave me feeling more anxious or overwhelmed. Calming and comforting, the layout and down-to-earth writing in this book is just the ticket. I love how Elizabeth addresses underlying emotional challenges so that the reader can tailor the time management and work/life balance techniques to suit their individual personality and lifestyle.
I’ve always considered myself a very conscientious and hardworking student, but Elizabeth made me realize that just because I can effectively juggle the demands of others, doesn’t mean I’m taking the time to invest in myself. The journaling prompts really encouraged me to reflect on my own goals and clarify my priorities, but they didn’t feel like strict assignments that I had to add to my already hectic life. Best of all, Elizabeth guides the reader through step by step. I can actually implement her tips and strategies. The book is laid out in a way that gives me the flexibility to pick and choose areas that I needed more assistance with than others.
The light hearted antidotes and clever examples are too fun! The whole book is really just so encouraging. Elizabeth is like a friend that holds me accountable, while inspiring me to relax and enjoy the journey as I explore what makes me tick. This book is so much more than time management. Do yourself a huge favor and invest in the 3 Secrets to Effective Time Investment. Not only will you be time rich, you’ll be inspiration rich!
