The Power of Doing Less

Overloaded? I ll bet you are. We all lead busy lives. You fall into bed exhausted at the end of the day, feeling that you ve got a lot done. Perhaps you are getting lots done. But is it stuff that really matters? Or is it just stuff? It s time to wise up.

" The Power of Doing Less is succinct and focused, wasting no time in getting to its point, standing out in the over-populated world of self-help literature by embracing the power of saying 'No.'"??( Business Uncovered, November 2013)

"What a seductive title... the author Fergus O'Connell — whose other books include How to Do a Great Job and Go Home on Time — has really cracked this one. And the promises he makes are big too. If you read the book and do the things that it suggests, then you will not only feel less stressed, but will also stop feeling guilty for leaving the office having only done half the things on your 'to-do' list, and will find great swathes of time opening up for you. What's not to love?" ( Third Sector, September 2013)

"In this thought-provoking book Fergus O'Connell encourages the reader to examine their work and life and to identify what really matters and where you should place your attention.... Highly recommended!" ( Hot Brands, Cool Places, August 2013)

The Sunday Business Post has described Fergus O'Connell as having 'more strings to his bow than a Stradivarius'.
Fergus has a First in Mathematical Physics from University College Cork and is one of the world's leading authorities on project management. His company — ETP (www.etpint.com) - and his project management method — Structured Project Management / The Ten Steps — have influenced a generation of project managers. In 2003 this method was used to plan and execute the Special Olympics World Games, the world's biggest sporting event that year. Fergus's experience covers projects around the world; he has taught project management in Europe, North America, South America and Asia. He holds two patents.
Fergus is the author of twelve business books. The first of these, How to Run Successful Projects: The Silver Bullet , has become both a bestseller and a classic and has been constantly in print for over twenty years. His book on common sense entitled Simply Brilliant — also a bestseller and now in its fourth edition — was runner-up in the W H Smith Book Awards 2002. His books have been translated into twenty languages.
