It is also essential reading for anyone who has more work than time, is reluctant to speed-read in case vital information is missed or regularly deals with difficult, dull or technical information.Each chapter will include top tips for immediate results, answers to key questions on how to get out of overload (and avoid it happening again) and strategies that work.
