" . . . .I live in a world where I have multiple choices of things to do every day, and sometimes the choices are so overwhelming that I do nothing. I admit it.

On the other hand, I wrote this book, and you didn't.

And then the obvious question is: if you have a list of 10 things to do, what do you actually do first? Answer is always THE MOST IMPORTANT THING (not the most urgent thing).

I tend to focus on the panic deadline. When the panic is completed, I then have a bit of peace. In order to Get Sh*t Done, there must be intervals of peace.

My fight—your fight: is for time and against time. Twenty-four hours—that's what you and I have in common. USE of time is how we differ.

In these pages you will discover the BEST ways to invest your time into productive and profitable actions—have a blast, and feel GREAT about your achievements."
