At the request

At the request of a respected friend, I have purchased two new books - although let's be honest, when do I have time to read anything non-work-related?

Hence the point of his request.

So I am waiting for two new books to arrive - with expedited shipping and still less than $15 (thank you Amazon used books):

Margin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, and Time Reserves to Overloaded Lives


Beating Burnout : Balanced Living for Busy People : How to Beat Burnout, Before Burnout

Clearly, if I had time to read both of these books, I would not be so out of balance with my work-life.  Right?  Yes.  So, perhaps the "magic" of these books is to simply carve out 15-30 minutes for yourself each day to read the book and then continue that marginal amount of self-devoted time after the book is complete.


Perhaps I have already seen through the scheme without even reading the books!  If I learn any tips, they will be posted.
