When To Say Yes Don Khouri

Discover the missing link of productivity

Why is it that, no matter how many time-management books you read and productivity workshops you attend, your life feels busier than ever? It's because everyone knows the importance of saying no, but we don't have a process for when to say yes.

Don Khouri has spent decades studying productivity as a PhD in human and organizational systems, corporate VP, speaker, and executive coach. In his quest to understand the secrets of the most productive people, he discovered the missing link in current productivity systems: they tell you how to manage projects and to-do lists, but don't show you how to determine what gets put on your plate in the first place.

In this revolutionary approach to personal productivity, you'll discover how to successfully triage the requests coming your way so you can stop bleeding time. You'll learn the importance of being purposely productive rather than constantly busy, and vanquish your to-do list for good. Drawing on human psychology, case studies, and personal stories, Khouri reveals the secrets to reclaiming your time, and shares the Five Steps for evaluating and prioritizing requests from bosses, colleagues, friends, family-and even yourself. With powerful exercises on goal setting, prioritizing, and delegating, you'll master the Five Steps and integrate them into a cohesive system.

Let's face it, multitasking is an illusion that leads to feeling overwhelmed. By being purposely productive instead you can create the world you want-and excel.
