| evernote for project management: Dream Teams Shane Snow, 2018-06-05 Award-winning entrepreneur and journalist Shane Snow reveals the counterintuitive reasons why so many partnerships and groups break down--and why some break through. The best teams are more than the sum of their parts, but why does collaboration so often fail to fulfill this promise? In Dream Teams, Snow takes us on an adventure through history, neuroscience, psychology, and business, exploring what separates groups that simply get by together from those that get better together. You'll learn: * How ragtag teams--from soccer clubs to startups to gangs of pirates--beat the odds throughout history. * Why DaimlerChrysler flopped while the Wu-Tang Clan succeeded, and the surprising factor behind most failed mergers, marriages, and partnerships. * What the Wright Brothers' daily arguments can teach us about group problem solving. * Pioneering women in law enforcement, unlikely civil rights collaborators, and underdog armies that did the incredible together. * The team players behind great social movements in history, and the science of becoming open-minded. Provocative and entertaining, Dream Teams is a landmark work that will change the way we think about people, progress, and collaboration. |

| evernote for project management: Procrastinate on Purpose Rory Vaden, 2015 You've tried managing your time. You've tried prioritizing your time. Now discover how to multiply it. Do you feel like you're busier than ever - yet never caught up? You're not alone. Many of us are tired, frustrated, and stressed from being overworked at the office and at home, with no concrete plan for getting it all under control without compromising our well-being. In Procrastinate on Purpose, self-discipline strategist Rory Vaden presents a different approach for how to identify and focus on what's important. Instead of one more calendar, checklist, or gadget, he points out that what we really need is an understanding of the emotional reasons we fail to maximize our time - and he then reveals the five 'permissions' we can grant ourselves in order to get better results while creating more margin in our daily lives. In this paradigm-shifting book, you will discover how to- Identify your most significant priorities, in business and in life Create more time to do the things you love without sacrificing results Say no to the things that don't matter, and yes to the things that do Implement systems that give you more time tomorrow than you have today Gain control and inner peace by adopting the 'multiplier mindset' Informed by Southwestern Consulting's work with thousands of busy clients, and interspersed with Vaden's case studies that reveal the 'multiplier mindset' at work, this insightful, practical book will turn everything you thought you knew about time upside-down-and it will change the way you work and live. From the New York Timesbestselling author of Take the Stairs- A bold new way to get things done. 'Managing your time is a lot like managing your money. It's not about the numbers; it's about your behavior. The best time-management tricks in the world won't do you much good if they don't actually make your life better. In Procrastinate on Purpose, Rory builds on what we've all heard about time management and adds the two things that have always been missing- emotion and significance.'

| evernote for project management: Take Control of Your Productivity Jeff Porten, 2020-03-25 Increase Productivity and Reduce Stress! Version 1.1, updated 03/25/2020 Being productive is never as simple as putting items on a calendar or to do list and checking them off. Most of us struggle with too much to do, too little time, and only a vague idea of how to plan each day so we can achieve the best results with the least stress. If that sounds like you (and especially if you’ve tried a bunch of productivity systems and found them lacking), Jeff Porten’s expert guidance may be just what you need. As a professional technology consultant and an early adopter of both hardware and software, Jeff has tried nearly every productivity management system out there, and experimented with dozens of implementation styles. He brings his decades of experience to this book, helping you create a customized strategy that’s ideal for your needs, and—crucially—avoid common mistakes. Whether you’re a productivity junkie or someone who has struggled for years with a cobbled-together, informal task-management system, this book will help you get a much better grip on your personal and business time. In this book, you’ll: • Review the principles of successful planning—whether for immediate projects or for long-term and someday goals. • Understand your natural working style and preferences, including comfortable habits that may not be productive but that you don’t want to change, and create a more effective workflow that fits you. • Discover the best ways to think about projects, tasks, events, due dates, flags, contexts, and more. • Choose a task-management app that’s appropriate for your needs, no matter what devices and operating systems you use, and that integrates with your calendar, reminders, notes, and the apps you use to actually do things. • Develop a step-by-step process for tracking all your events and tasks and ensuring that everything happens in the right order. • Transition from an old system to your new system without worrying that anything will fall through the cracks. • Learn exactly how to keep track of all the things you need to remember throughout the day. • Improve your time-estimation skills when planning how long future tasks and projects will take. • Solve the problem of “10-minute tasks” that become all-day projects because they have a dozen things you discover you need to do first. • Get better at managing other people (and their expectations of you). • Review how well your productivity system has worked over time, using feedback loops and suggested best practices to continually improve your workflow. • Fail successfully! If something goes wrong—from a derailing large project to a life-changing crisis—learn how to recover gracefully and improve your system the next time around. • Know when and how to make changes to meet any new needs you have, and to ensure that what you do every Tuesday at 2 PM contributes to your overarching goals and most important roles in life. Although many of the examples in the book refer to Mac productivity tools, the advice is platform-neutral. The book contains tips applicable to any combination of operating systems, and a companion webpage provides additional details on apps running on Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and the web. |

| evernote for project management: Practical Project Management Dmytro Nizhebetskyi, 2022-03-07 Most project managers don't have a formal education. Unfortunately, they need to collect bits and pieces of knowledge all over the internet. Sometimes, it feels like you need to fly an airplane while still building it. Moreover, there's a huge gap between the theory and practice of project management! You can spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars on certifications, but still, you won't know what to do with all this knowledge. You won't feel confident about running a project in a real company with a real team. That's why reading Project Management Institute's PMBOK® Guide is not the best option. It's a great book, but it's an encyclopedia. You don't take one to solve practical problems. In contrast, this book teaches you a practical project management approach that works in the real world. It provides you with: A structured project management framework. It will help you manage a project from start to finish with easy-to-use templates, tools, and PM software. Step-by-step process of project planning. You can scale it up and down depending on the complexity of a project. A proven system to manage stakeholders and their expectations. Learn how to engage them in a project so that they help you rather than impede your work. My robust risk management workflow that your team and stakeholders can easily understand and follow. A sequential process of creating a realistic schedule. It's also easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions that you can implement in any project management tool. Essential tools to manage project scope and collect requirements even if you don't have business analysis experience. Case studies and examples of tools and processes that you can relate to. Supporting resources that include templates and additional materials that you can use as a starting point on your project. If you want to be a great project manager, you need to use this approach as the backbone for each new project. It is simple so that your team understands it. Moreover, it is scalable for different levels of the project's complexity. What's more important, it is NOT theory in a vacuum. As a seasoned PM with twelve years of experience, Dmytro Nizhebetskyi understands all your challenges. He's still in the trenches. That's why this book will help project managers of all levels: If you are an entry-level PM, you need to master the approach described in this book. It's all you need for the first three to five years of your career. It's much better than reading theory from the PMBOK® Guide. If you are a mid-level PM, you'll systemize your knowledge into an integrated project management approach. It will help you pass your PMI's Project Management Professional (PMP) exam and improve your skills. You'll fill all the gaps in your understanding of project management. If you are a senior-level PM, this book will serve you as a refresher. I'm also sure you'll find some golden nuggets from my twelve years of experience as a software project manager.

| evernote for project management: Double Star Robert A. Heinlein, 2021-09-07 Part of the exclusive new CAEZIK Notable line of books. Many of Heinlein's fans consider the novels he wrote in the fifties amongst the author's strongest work; when he was at the peak of his talents. Double Star is considered by many to be the finest of his titles. Brian Aldiss called it his most enjoyable novel. Whether it is the simplicity of a lively tale, the complexity of the situation, or the depth of characterization, the book has developed a loyal following. It also won Heinlein his first Hugo. The story revolves around Lawrence Smith--also known as Lorenzo the Great--a down-and-out actor wasting the remainder of his life in bars. When he encounters a space-pilot who offers him a drink, before he knows what is going on, he is on Mars involved in a deep conspiracy with global consequences. He is given a mission where failure would not only mean his own death, it would almost certainly mean an all-out planetary war. Heinlein's novels of the 1940s and 50s shaped every single science fiction writer of my generation and everyone currently writing science fiction. Or making science fiction movies ... and Double Star is an excellent example of all the reasons why.--Connie Willis CAEZIK Notables is a new line of science fiction and fantasy titles that have had a significant impact on their respective genre. Each book has a unique place in the development of speculative fiction. Every title published under the CAEZIK notables line will have a matching cover set and will carry an introduction by an expert in the field. |
