The Hours You’re Losing

Time is the one thing none of us can earn back.

If you are running a business, you already know where yours goes. Not to the work you started the business to do. To email. To finding a meeting time. To typing the same information into a second system because the first one will not talk to it. To an invoice, a report, a follow-up you meant to send on Tuesday.

Donna Minton Williams puts a number on it first, because most owners have never counted. Then she takes it apart, one piece of the week at a time.

Email. Scheduling. Data entry and record keeping. Financial reporting and invoicing. Social media. Grant research, which she writes about as a Certified Grant Writer rather than a spectator. Documents. Customer follow-up.

Every chapter is a part of your week you already recognise, and what can be handed off.

Then the part that turns reading into hours back: an implementation roadmap, and an eight week plan. Week by week, in order, so you are not deciding where to start every Monday. It closes with worksheets and quick references built to be printed and used, not admired.

This is not a book about the technology. It is a book about your Tuesday afternoon.
