4) Hardcover Book Simplify Your Work Life by . I´ve had this book for several years and I´m still fond of carrying it with me on weeks where there is a lot happening in my 12 year old firm. What´s particularly nice is the fact that St. James has such small smippets that I can quickly read and easily digest--one at a time.¤

5) Hardcover Book Simplify Your Work Life by . When the author states she feels "healthy, wealthy, happy and fantastic," it is obvious that the assumption here is that there are plenty of funds to cover the basic necessities -- food, shelter, and medical care at her house.

Most of the tips are basic ones such as "handling mail only once;write checks immediately." The assumption is that we all have the financial ability to do that. Another assmption is that we are all in control of our workdays. No advice or acknowledgement of any sort is offered up for those of us who cannot cut back or quit work.

I found the advice of rationing family members one towel and one wash cloth laughable and what one would expect if living in an institution, not in one´s home.

These tapes contain some good advice and are very helpful for those persons who already enjoying a good income. However, for those living from pay day to pay day, these tapes will have little benefit.¤

7) Hardcover Book Simplify Your Work Life by . Now that Elaine St. James has helped readers simplify their homes, closets, and holidays, she shares her expert advice on simplifying the workplace. St. James points out that most of the conveniences Americans rely upon to make work easier--such as fax machines, e-mail, and cell phones--really make it "easier to do more work" at any time of day or night. As a result, the 40-hour workweek is a distant memory. "American workers could learn a lot from the European workplace," she writes. "In most European countries, the 32 hour work week is mandated by law."

How is it possible to be like the Europeans and still get the job done? This is where St. James gets specific. At first she asks readers to set firmer boundaries between work and home. She makes seemingly radical suggestions, such as "stop working weekends," "add one day to your vacation" (to allow for transition time), and "eliminate your commute." She also offers on-the-job advice, such as "be selective in giving out your e-mail [address]" (to eliminate distracting messages) and "double your estimate" ("face it, things always take twice as long to complete as you think"). Ultimately, she suggests ways to be more efficient spenders in order to have more flexibility (which results in saner and more meaningful work). This Queen of Simplification may seem simplistic to her detractors, but her advice-packed books really do get results. --Gail Hudson¤
