Happy About An Extra Hour a Day, by Nicolas Soergel

In lieu of my own blog today, I am going to use this post to highlight something so many of us could use: Time management skills. I don't know about you, but I never seem to have enough time to do everything I want to. Without further ado, here is our special guest:



About Happy About An Extra Hour a Day


Every day has exactly 1,440 minutes in it. Whether you work for a Fortune 500 company, run your own small business or are an independent freelancer, the way you spend those minutes helps or hinders the goals you want to achieve.

Nicolas Soergel, author of the new book Happy About An Extra Hour Everyday(Happy About, 2009) says anyone can create extra time in their life by increasing their efficiency. “If you can save one minute, 60 times a day, you can gain the extra hour needed to make your dreams happen,” says Soergel.

Throughout Happy About An Extra Hour Everyday the author offers easy to implement, time saving tips that he terms "quick wins".
