Let’s face it, women are born multi-taskers.  Ask a man to throw in a load of laundry and start dinner and he’ll probably respond, “And you want me to start dinner too?”  That’s because men’s brains are compartmentalized and women’s brains are not.  All the wiring is connected in a woman’s brain and this can be a blessing and a curse.  The curse is that we try to do too much (i.e., multi-tasking), but can often end up spinning our wheels and burning out. Time Management strategies for women is the answer.

I love what Timothy Ferris, the author of one of my favorite books, “The 4-Hour Workweek” says about being busy:

“Being busy is most often used as a guise for avoiding the few critically important but uncomfortable actions.  The options are almost limitless for creating “busyness”:  You could call a few hundred unqualified sales leads, reorganize your Outlook contacts, walk across the office to request documents you don’t really need, or fuss with your Blackberry for a few hours when you should be prioritizing.”

So the big question is:  Are you busy or are you productive?
