Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal With Change in Your Work and in Your Life
|
by Spencer Johnson, Kenneth H. Blanchard
|
ISBN: 0399144463, Paperback- $12.97 BUY
Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Four beings live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice--nonanalytical and nonjudgmental, they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are "littlepeople," mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. It's not just sustenance to them; it's their self-image.
Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they've found. Most of us reading the story will see the cheese as something related to our livelihoods--our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in--although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have runs out.

In today's world of exponentially increased communication and responsibility, yesterday's methods for staying on top just don't work.Veteran management consultant and trainer David Allen recognizes that ''time management'' is useless the minute your schedule is interrupted; ''setting priorities'' isn't relevant when your email is down; ''procrastination solutions'' won't help if your goals aren't clear. Allen's premise is simple: our ability to be productive is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve stress-free productivity and unleash our creative potential. He teaches us how to: apply the ''do it, delegate it, defer it, drop it'' rule to get your in-box empty; reassess goals and stay focused in changing situations; overcome feelings of confusion, anxiety, and being overwhelmed; and feel fine about what you're not doing. From core principles to proven tricks, Getting Things Done has the potential to transform the way you work -- and the way you experience work. At any level of implementation, David Allen's entertaining and thought-provoking advice shows you how to pick up the pace without wearing yourself down.
