How often do you think to yourself: So much to do and so little time? In the sympathetic and insightful style of The Procrastinator's Handbook, Rita Emmett offers help for those of us with too much to do. The key is not time management but "stuff" management - taking control of all those tasks to do, people to see, commitments and obligations to fulfill. Mismanagement of all that "to-do" stuff is what leads to stress. We often have little control over the demands made upon us, yet we can control our reaction or response. That's where the management of stress must start. Emmett combines quick, easy-to-digest tips and infectious good humor to give readers positive ways to handle stress and their overly busy lives, first by understanding how stress impacts our physical, mental, and emotional health.

Rita Emmett leads self-improvement and productivity workshops on a variety of topics, and is the author of The Procrastinator's Handbook, The Clutter-Busting Handbook, and The Procrastinating Child. She has appeared on NBC's Today show, and has been featured in Time, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Family Circle, and Parents. She lives in Des Plaines, Illinois.
