Default personal productivity ebook for work-at-home peeps

Glen Stansberry, founder of the Liferemix network (Wise Bread is a proud member) and Web Warrior Tools (ebook publishing), has released a new ebook called:

Jump-Start Your Workspace: Small changes that improve focus and shorten your work day (aff link)

You can preview the first chapter at the link.

I mostly work from home, and I found the entire book applicableto my messy and cluttered workspace. I wonder if I can boost my personal output by 20% or more if I just applied a few of the tips in the book.

You might be able to find all the info by searching around the personal productivity web, but it won't be compiled into a breezy, actionable 26 pages. I devoured the book in half an hour, and was compelled to share it.

Chapters:

1. Curing Clutter
2. The Immediate Environment
3. Personal Environment
4. Interruptions
5. Scenery
6. Requiring Human Interaction
7. Taking Breaks
8. Variety is the Spice of Work
9. The Little Things Add Up
10. Finding Your Work Time
11. Conclusions



If anyone has any thoughts on creating a perfect zen-like workspace at home, please share! And don't forget to let us know what you think of Glen's book!

(One more thing, anyone know where to get cheap Aeron chairs?? That's the biggest thing I miss from my corporate days....)

Great link! I've just viewed the preview of the book and it looks really promising. I also followed the link he provided to the http://unclutterer.com/ which is full of great ideas :0)
