Finally! I nice and up to the point book telling the more autistic of us just HOW TO ADULT! I needed this when I was a people-pleaser kid. I still need it even though I'm more of a grouchy super mentor type now, crazy efficient and... did I say grumpy? Totally!
Actually a ton of great tips on how to get people in and out of your schedule (including oneself), how to get things done, ID both a slacker and an overachiever.
Some things, obviously, don't really make sense: seriously, starting one's day with thank you notes? A great way to get only them done. Or even them undone. But other than some slight brain-fart inducing ideas, the rest is pretty cool. Obvious in hindsight but cool.
Case in point: 'You're running off to someplace urgent and here goes that guy who always drops by 'just for a secc' and with a ton of questions... you walk on, tell him smth useful and something not really (along the lines of 'let's talk about this later, alligator, bye') and you're off to your urgent stuff. Key thing: never stop walking on his account. Talk and walk. Easy-peasy and a miracle worker.
Etc. Etc. It won't shatter your world but could give that glass ceiling some cracks for you to work later on.
