Manage Your Time and Reduce Your Stress: A Handbook for the Overworked, Overscheduled, and Overwhelmed

Rita Emmett, . . Walker, $13 (188pp) ISBN 978-0-8027-1648-4

A buoy for those drowning from too much to do, but not enough time in which to do it, Emmett (The Clutter-Busting Handbook ) focuses on developing self-care and time management skills. Warning that people should don their own oxygen mask before assisting others, the author argues persuasively for taking responsibility for one’s own needs and happiness. A mantra of excellence over perfectionism drives many of the book’s lessons, and work sheets and the author’s fresh voice make this slender volume a quick and thoughtful read. (Jan.)
