Hi Guys!<\/p>\n

I am so happy to be able to finally announce that months of hard work with HyperInk<\/a> have finally come to a close and that I can officially announce the release of our first book ever: “PickTheBrain’s Rock Star Productivity: Time Management Tips, Leadership Skills and Other Keys to Self Improvement!”<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

True to the vision of PTB – I wanted to create a collaborative effort – including some of the greatest blog posts that PickTheBrain has to offer, with a focus on Productivity.<\/p>\n

To give you a little taste of what’s included, in what I consider to be one of the most comprehensive productivity tools around here’s a sneak peak at the table of contents:<\/p>\n

1. Introduction – with forward by me<\/p>\n

2. Productivity Starts with the Mind<\/p>\n

3. Starting Your Day Productively<\/p>\n

4. Getting (and staying) Motivated<\/p>\n

5. Breaking Bad Habits and Cultivating Good Ones<\/p>\n

6. The Dangers of Multitasking<\/p>\n

7. Making the Most of Procrastination<\/p>\n

8. Making Time Work For You<\/p>\n

9. Being Productive Without Sacrificing Happiness<\/p>\n

Each chapter is complete with blog entries from some of PickTheBrain’s (and the web’s) best self development bloggers* and I am so thrilled and honored to be able to include their fantastic work in our first book – like everything about PTB I wanted to stay true to our vision and mission and make this book, just like the blog, a collective effort of voices that really have something to say, from around the world.<\/p>\n

I am so proud of the final product and hope you’ll take the time to enjoy and benefit reading it as much as I did creating this –\u00a0 and of course I want to once again thank HyperInk for their tireless devotion to this project.<\/p>\n

The book is available starting NOW<\/a> and featured at an incredible opening price of $2.99 – buy it for yourself or someone you love and will give you the option to send 4 copies for FREE to friends! As always, I would love your thoughts and feedback!<\/p>\n

Thanks again for your unwavering support and…<\/p>\n

Be Well,<\/p>\n

Erin<\/p>\n
