The Ultimate Time Management Toolkit by Risa Williams

Do you have trouble managing your time, staying on track with goals, finding your focus, or getting organized? Are you a "chronically busy person" with too much to do and too little time? Then, this book is for you! Packed with creative exercises, fun illustrations, neuroscience facts, and helpful worksheets, The Ultimate Time Management Toolkit: 25 Productivity Tools for Adults with ADHD and Chronically Busy People (JKP Books, August 2022) by Risa Williams provides practical and easy techniques for making time your friend, not your enemy.

"If you, like most of us, fall under the umbrella of a chronically busy person, this book is just the ticket. Written by a clinical therapist and author of The Ultimate Anxiety Toolkit, this book focuses on practical methods and strategies, including creative worksheets and easy-to-use techniques, to help you find your motivation, achieve your goals, and feel less stressed about organizing your time." - Choosing Therapy, "12 Best Time Management Books of 2022."

"As a psychiatrist who works extensively with individuals with ADHD, this book is a fantastic find. Risa's actionable executive function skills are illustrated using accessible language and real-world anecdotes. This book is an incredibly useful toolbox for those who are starting out on their ADHD journey as well as those who have found themselves caught in one of life's stuck points." - Dr. Mike Feldmeir, Psychiatrist, Level Up Mental Health

"Risa Williams is an expert at teaching and applying complicated ideas in easily accessible metaphors and skills. Time management and organization is an ongoing challenge for individuals with attentional difficulties stemming from neurodiversity, emotional burnout, or simply being stretched too thin by competing demands. Highly readable, informative, and immediately useful." -Dr. Scott Waltman, psychologist and author

"They say time waits for no human and also that it's relative. Gaining more control over how one uses time can seem magical, and Williams provides many concepts and practical tools to get the most out of it! This is a must read for anyone that has struggled with time management, which is everyone in my opinion."- Andrew Ralles, Writer and Musician

"Risa Williams has done it again with another fabulously helpful book with so many deceptively simple but powerful strategies. As a psychologist, I was constantly finding strategies that I could bring to my clients but just as frequently I found strategies that will make my busy life much more manageable and reduce my own stress. This book will be my go-to book for time management without question!" - Dr. Tamara Glen Soles, PhD

"Where most of us don’t even know where to begin, Risa lays out a step-by-step framework for a new perspective on time. I love the simplicity of her examples and the relatable visualization tools. The idea of Risa’s “Multitasking Tornado” and using “Time Containers” to re-imagine time allocation as a business owner has completely changed my perspective and thus, my relationship with time! -Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy, Podcast Host

"Having appreciated Risa's unique blending of science, simplicity and practicality with the tools in The Ultimate Anxiety Toolkit, I read this follow-up with keen interest...and was not disappointed! With this series of books, Risa is providing a suite of tools equipping us for wellbeing. These proven tools help us manage both time and energy. "- Trevor Stockwell, Leadership Coach

"Short on time? Make time to read this book! Not only does it cover a wide range of cognitive and emotional skills necessary for effective time management, it breaks them down into simple, step-by-step activities. And she doesn’t just talk the talk. She walks the walk. Expertly organized chapters make this book accessible for even the most 'chronically busy' readers." - Erica Curtis, LMFT, ATR-BC, author of "The Innovative Parent."
