Business Book Available For Review

New Book Revolutionizes Way People Handle Email Inboxes - Unload Email Overload

 

Author and consultant, Bob O’Hare, claims “This little book can save professionals, leaders and managers hundreds of hours of their precious time.” He continues “Companies lose millions of dollars of productive time every year because employees are constantly diverted from their priorities by the gong of their Smartphone.” His new book, Unload Email Overload, tells how to master email communications, unload email overload and save precious time.

 

Managing email takes way too much time because people never learned to do it effectively. As a result, they are constantly interrupted, spend countless hours processing email, re-read emails that languish in their inbox, store email they don’t need and suffer from information overload.  Today you can find dozens of articles on the Internet crying about the pain of information overload.

 

Unload Email Overload, written for professionals, very busy individuals and management, documents the MasteringEmail™ methodology, developed by Bob, which provides the principles, method and details you need to process email quickly and effectively. Unload Email Overload is written in an intelligent, easy-to-understand format to help people minimize interruption, overcome indecision, manage their inbox to near empty, and eliminate frustration with email. This book will help organize time and priorities so anyone can get their work done–at work.

 

Unload Email Overload will enable readers to give up doing email over dinner, while driving and when they get in bed. Can think of more pleasant ways to spend that time, yes? MasteringEmail™ will save precious time and can improve work/life balance. Readers can scan the book to capture improvement ideas quickly and devour it in one evening.

A Book About The Future of Work & The Collaborative Economy...

Part of the new 'collaborative economy' dominated by companies like AirBnB, Zipcar, and ThredUp, coworking and collaborative workspaces are revolutionizing how we work.

What is coworking? Coworking is the phenomenon of people coming together in a shared space for one or more of these reasons: to cut costs by sharing facilities and equipment, to access a community of fellow entrepreneurs, and/or to seek out collaboration within and across fields.

Collaborative communities are the most important features of coworking. Working independently in a communal space, workers from different backgrounds and industries create thriving partnerships where creative sparks fly and interesting things happen. Coworking can foster innovation that transforms organizations and businesses— a process dubbed ‘accelerated serendipity’ by enthusiasts and advocates the world over.

This packed edition (paperback is 378 pp) chronicles the rise of coworking and the social and economic trends making it possible.

Discover the secrets to "accelerated serendipity" as members and founders recount their experiences of how coworking became a driving force behind critical business decisions and breakthroughs.
