10 Foundational Strategies to Manage Your Time, Increase Productivity, and Overcome Procrastination
By Stefanie Pruden
Embrace 10 Easy Ways to Hone Essential Time Management Skills—Even if Meeting Deadlines Has Always Been a Struggle!
If getting things done on time has always been a challenge for you, know that you are not alone!
Around 88% of working people procrastinate daily, with workers spending an average of just 2 hours and 48 minutes on productive tasks.
That means they are spending over 5 hours of a typical working day on neutral or distracting activities.
Imagine how much you could achieve by making every minute count!
You could hit every target, impress your supervisors, and have extra time to work out how to make extra cash or simply enjoy with friends and family. It sounds like a plan that most people would sign up for!
If you admit to being a “serial procrastinator,” fear not. This book won’t put you through a mental boot camp or expect you to nail every time management skill from the word go.
What it will do is provide you with 10 vital strategies that will help you achieve your greatest potential. In this audio, you will discover:
- 8 easy steps to plan out your entire week on a Sunday – in just a few minutes, you can ensure you will have a stress-free week and hit all your personal and work targets
- How Tim Cook, Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey get more top-priority things done with this one simple daily habit
- Sleep quantity isn’t the whole picture – how to ensure you get top-quality, restorative sleep by aligning with your circadian rhythm
- 4 essential components of your personal non-negotiable “To-Do” list, plus how to set SMART goals
- Why tracking your work or study time interruptions is a key step toward gaining greater focus
- Multi-tasking – why this common habit stops you from achieving peak performance, and how to nip it in the bud
- How to harness the power of the Zeigarnik Effect to establish a new routine and solidify positive habits.
- Why progress, not perfectionism, is what you should focus on as you work your way to mastering time management
- The power of time-boxing, self-care, and daily planning for effective time management
And so much more.
The number of distractions in modern life—including smart devices—can make sticking to your resolve quite a challenge!
Creating a time plan, prioritizing your goals, and making self-care a part of your daily life can go a long way toward making you far more productive and effective.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Highly Informative!
With the start of the new year, I am looking to make positive changes in my life - one of which is my time management. I found this book to be insightful and inspiring. I had never really thought about my habits until I read this book - the information about the habit cycle and using rewards was very helpful to me. I also was inspired by the meal planning section - getting dinner on the table amid the chaos of a busy household is one of the things that has been an issue and I have never really considered nutrition in terms of productivity before. Overall this book is full of practical suggestions and guides you to become the more productive person you want to be.

Foundational and Effective!
Pruden's book is approachable and practical, offering 10 foundational strategies that are both easy to understand and implement. The statistics presented at the beginning of the book – that 88% of working people procrastinate daily – were eye-opening and made me feel less alone in my struggles. It's refreshing to read a book that recognizes the commonality of these challenges and offers realistic solutions.
One of the most impactful strategies for me was the 8 easy steps to plan out an entire week on a Sunday. This simple, yet effective approach has drastically reduced my weekly stress and helped me hit both personal and work targets consistently. Additionally, learning about the daily habits of successful individuals like Tim Cook, Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey was not only inspiring but also provided practical tips to emulate their success.
The emphasis on quality sleep and aligning with one's circadian rhythm is another aspect of the book that I found particularly beneficial. In today's fast-paced world, sleep is often neglected, but Pruden highlights its importance in a way that is both informative and motivating.
The book goes beyond mere strategies and delves into the importance of self-care and daily planning, illustrating how these practices are integral to effective time management. The practical exercises and real-life examples make the concepts relatable and easy to apply in daily life.
