Taking Back Control

by John McKinstry

Overview

Just how good are you at managing your time and energy?  If your job was starting to slowly but surely overwhelm you, do you think you would actually notice in time to be able to do something about it?

Taking Back Control is the story of Annie, a dedicated and hardworking manager whose workload (and levels of stress and anxiety) are steadily driven up and up by her boss, her team and her stakeholders until she reaches a point where she has no option but to learn how to regain control of her own time and - using the four principles set out in this book - so can you.

If the amount of time you spend in work has continued to steadily creep up, if you’re expected to “power through” breaks and to take increasingly larger and larger amounts of work home with you then it’s time to learn some bare knuckle time management tactics and change the way you manage your time in the workplace forever.

About the Author

There are lots of writers out there who do a brilliant job of writing about what I call the “good stuff” in business - things like great leadership skills, confidence or positive attitude.

I love to read that kind of thing but I don’t tend to write about it. Instead, I write about the other side of that coin, about what you could describe as the “bad stuff” in business.

From the everyday frustrations and negativity in the office through to the genuinely scary stuff like redundancy, the focus in my books is on the bad stuff in the workplace that could affect you and – more importantly - how to navigate your way successfully through it.

If you’re interested you can hear more from me on Twitter (@JMcKWriter) where I highlight any great articles and quotes I’ve seen and also talk a lot about my favourite sport - ice hockey – which I use as the background for my first novel “Life and Other Contact Sports”
