Are you too busy? Are you always running behind? Is your calendar loaded with more than you can possibly accomplish? Is it driving you crazy? You're not alone. Crazybusy--the modern phenomenon of brain overload--is a national epidemic. Without intending for it to happen, we've plunged ourselves into a mad rush of activity, expecting our brains to keep track of more than they comfortably or effectively can. In fact, as attention deficit disorder expert and bestselling author Edward M. Hallowell, M.D., argues in this groundbreaking new audiobook, brain overload has reached the point where our entire society is suffering from culturally induced ADD. But as Dr. Hallowell argues, being crazybusy can also be an opportunity. The impulse to be busy can be turned to our advantage once we get in touch with our needs and take charge of how we really want to spend our time. Through quick exercises (perfect for busy people), focused advice on everything on everything from lifestyle to time management, and examples chosen from his extensive clinical experience, Dr. Hallowell goes step-by-step over the process of unsnarling frantic lives.

Edward takes us through some humorous examples of our modern life. They are fun and see ourselves and hopefully laugh at ourselves. He then starts pointing out a strategies to get a hold of our life ... like a time budget.
We hear about financial budgets and diet diaries but not time budgets. Have you ever analyzed how you actually spend your 168 hours a week? Further he assigns a point system based on productivity, need, and desire. I laughed to myself because I created something akin to my eating habits (is it good for me? does it taste good? Does it make someone else happy if I eat it). I thought I was alone in this thinking.
There were many fine suggestions for example doing a job first before getting emotionally roped into it and that the most successful people (financially speaking) spend time thinking and playing with ideas - not running around like people on Blackberry devices.
This book ironically is aimed toward the people who are least likely to read it. The book is divided into such short chapters it makes a wonderful literary companion on your bus ride or lunch break. If you want to start catching up, I think this book could have some answers for you. ( )
