Summary:

"This book will inspire calm, clarity, and pure business sanity... for absolutely every worried, exhausted and beautiful entrepreneur that you know" (Tama Kieves, bestselling author of Inspired & Unstoppable ). Entrepreneurs are smart, confident, good at what they do, and help their clients get amazing results. Oftentimes they are busy, stressed, and overwhelmed which holds them back from the success and the difference they really want to make. Traditional time-management approaches encourage entrepreneurs to speed up, fit more in, and be more efficient-so they can cross everything off their to-do list. However, they don't stop to consider that maybe they shouldn't be trying to do everything on their to-do list in the first place. When you're overwhelmed or too busy, focusing on getting more done isn't the answer. So what is the answer? In My Desk is Driving Me Crazy you'll discover how to easily sort through what is important and what isn't-and let the unimportant things go-so you can put your energy on what truly matters to you instead, with ease and clarity. "A generous work of inspiration... Shows us how to find and follow our own kind of simplicity out of the chaos we create. This funny, friendly, smart book is not just about your desk... it's about clearing your head in anything you do." -Barbara Sher, New York Times -bestselling author of It's Only Too Late If You Don't Start Now "An enjoyable and accessible guide to clearing the inner and outer clutter that gets in the way of the life for which you're longing." -Kimberly Schneider, M.Ed., JD, LPC, author of Everything You Need Is Right Here
