Cool-Time: A Hands-On Plan for Managing Work and Balancing Time

Cool-Time: A Hands-On Plan for Managing Work and Balancing Time In the real world of interruptions, e-mail, and time pressure, few people are able to organize their work in isolation from everything else. In fact, effective time management is more about human relationships, influence, and expectation management than it is about making lists. Cool-Time is a complete approach to managing time and defending it from the endless demands and expectations of others in the workplace, and in work from home scenarios.
The third edition, updated in 2022, contains practical, personal techniques that will help you apply your new skills to real-world situations: holding time-effective meetings, dealing with distractions, learning to focus, coping with unrealistic workloads, planning for the unexpected, negotiating with your manager over conflicting tasks, and using technology effectively - whether at the office or working from home, whether in person or virtual.
It includes suggestions on non-work activities including healthy sleep, as well as new techniques around life-work integration and lessons learned from the pandemic. This makes it a complete approach to managing time and balancing life.
The first edition of Cool-Time was published by John Wiley & Sons, in 2005, and now, the third edition has been revised to factor in the post-pandemic "new normal" and all it entails. It's available at Lulu.com and on Amazon Podcast and Social Media We have a podcast: CoolTimeLife, and watch for our tweets on Twitter/X that use the hashtag #CoolTime. Keynotes I also deliver keynotes on time management and productivity for the hybrid work era that include information on virtual technologies and AI, as well as tried and true time management and life balance techniques. See my Keynotes page for more information.
You can learn the Cool-Time time managment techniques one at a time on your own schedule through our 10-minute modules available at Patreon.
