2016., Adult, Random House Canada Call No: 650.1 B154p Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "After obtaining his business degree, Chris Bailey created the AYearOfProductivity.com website to chronicle a year-long series of productivity experiments he conducted on himself, along with his interviews with productivity experts, from Charles Duhigg to David Allen. Bailey tried out going several weeks with getting by on little to no sleep; he cut out caffeine and sugar; he lived in total isolation for 10 days; he used his smartphone for just an hour a day for three months; he gained ten pounds of muscle mass; he stretched his work week to 90 hours; a late riser, he tried getting up at 5:30 every morning for three months -- all the while monitoring the impact of his experiments on the quality and quantity of his work. Among the winning strategies: Slowing down to work more deliberately. Shrinking or eliminating the unimportant. The rule of three. Striving for imperfection. Scheduling less time for important tasks. The 20 second rule to distract yourself from the inevitable distractions. The concept of productive procrastination. Bailey offers a treasure trove of insights and over 25 best practices that will help you accomplish more. Chris Bailey is a graduate of Carleton University in Ottawa. His new website is ALifeOfProductivity.com"--Provided by publisher.

[2014], Crown Business Call No: 658.4 S966s Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: In this book you'll journey to Scrum's front lines where Jeff's system of deep accountability, team interaction, and constant iterative improvement is, among other feats, bringing the FBI into the 21st century, perfecting the design of an affordable 140 mile per hour/100 mile per gallon car, helping NPR report fast-moving action in the Middle East, changing the way pharmacists interact with patients, reducing poverty in the Third World, and even helping people plan their weddings and accomplish weekend chores. Woven with insights from martial arts, judicial decision making, advanced aerial combat, robotics, and many other disciplines, Scrum is consistently riveting. But the most important reason to read this book is that it may just help you achieve what others consider unachievable whether it be inventing a trailblazing technology, devising a new system of education, pioneering a way to feed the hungry, or, closer to home, a building a foundation for your family to thrive and prosper.

[2015], Adult, Ballantine Books Call No: 650.1 C323s Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Feel like you're on a treadmill that won't stop? Learn to step off and hit your stride. Not long ago Christine Carter, happiness expert at UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, found herself caught up in the busyness of modern life: too many conflicting obligations and not enough time, energy, or patience to get everything done. She tried all the standard techniques--prioritizing, multitasking, delegating--but found that she needed a new approach, one that would allow her to live more in that zone we've all glimpsed but can never seem to hold on to: the sweet spot of expertise, efficiency, and ease. Drawing on her vast knowledge of the latest psychological, neurological, and biological science related to happiness, productivity, and elite performance, Carter put herself through the practical paces. Her goal was not to live a stress-free life, but rather to build stress resilience and find a quicker path to calm and confidence. Her trials and errors are our reward. Carter shares her combination of practices for attaining happiness without giving up success. How to take a brief recess, an inoculation against "The Overwhelm" and the key to converting stress into productive and creative energy. How to start daily micro-habits that free you up to focus on and enjoy more important things. How to unplug from seemingly time-saving gadgets that can sap our strength, and use technology more strategically prioritize our relationships. How to cultivate tolerance for a little discomfort while we build the skills that make hard things feel easy and develop the grit to bounce back from life's inevitable setbacks. This inspiring book lets us in on the possibilities for joy and freedom that comes when we stop trying to do everything right--and start doing the right things"--Provided by publisher.
