From the publisher

Overloaded? I'll bet you are.

We all lead busy lives. You fall into bed exhausted at the end of the day, feeling that you've got a lot done. Perhaps you are getting lots done.

But is it stuff that really matters? Or is it just stuff?

It's time to wise up. You will never clear that list.

Get used to the idea that some things will never get done. Not delayed. Not rescheduled. Not re-prioritized. But simply dropped.

And from now on, instead of trying to clear that endless to-do list, you're going to do a much smarter thing. You're going to just do the important stuff.

And the brilliant thing is, you already have the power to do this.

That power is to do less.

Soon enough, you'll have the space to enjoy the moment, be creative, find new or better ways of doing things, get ideas, and spot opportunities you would have missed when you were running around.

In short - you'll be happier. Much happier.

As soon as you stop doing, the power of doing less will begin to flow.

About the author

The Sunday Business Post has described Fergus O'Connell as having 'more strings to his bow than a Stradivarius'.
Fergus has a First in Mathematical Physics from University College Cork and is one of the world's leading authorities on project management. His company -- ETP (www.etpint.com) - and his project management method -- Structured Project Management / The Ten Steps -- have influenced a generation of project managers. In 2003 this method was used to plan and execute the Special Olympics World Games, the world's biggest sporting event that year. Fergus's experience covers projects around the world; he has taught project management in Europe, North America, South America and Asia. He holds two patents.
Fergus is the author of twelve business books. The first of these, How to Run Successful Projects: The Silver Bullet, has become both a bestseller and a classic and has been constantly in print for over twenty years. His book on common sense entitled Simply Brilliant -- also a bestseller and now in its fourth edition -- was runner-up in the W H Smith Book Awards 2002. His books have been translated into twenty languages.
