Do your most important work when you are your most resourceful

Are you drowning in email? Overloaded with calendar invitations? Frustrated by wasteful meetings and an ever-growing workload? Then you know that being busy does not mean being productive. Most workers are being asked to take on more responsibilities with less support, advised to simply be innovative. But you only have a finite amount of energy and thinking capacity available to you in a day. Most of us are wasting it on things that arent contributing to our most important work: the activities that require problem solving, decision making and critical thinking.

Developed for business professionals, The First Two Hours teaches you how to design your day, rather than be at the mercy of it. Using research on neuroscience, energy flow and the bodys natural rhythms, it divides the workday into manageable blocks and helps you determine when you are most resourceful, and therefore when you should complete your most demanding tasks.

  • Optimize your day in blocks of two hours
  • Take back control of your work life by creating a workflow designed for you
  • Do your most important work at the right time of day so it gets the resources it deserves
  • Decide when you need to be on and when you can be available so you can maximise productivity
  • In a time of near-constant information overload, this practical handbook helps you focus on getting done what you need to get done, when you are best able to do it. By learning to invest your energy strategically, you can be in the drivers seat every work day and achieve a level of productivity beyond what you thought possible.

    The First 2 Hours
    is the second book in Donna McGeorges Its About Time series. With The 25-Minute Meeting, youll learn to give your meetings purpose and stop them wasting your time; with The First 2 Hours, youll find the best time of the day to do your most productive work; and with The 1-Day Refund, youll discover how to give yourself the extra capacity to think, breathe, live and work.

    WOW What a great easy to read business book The First 2 Hours is overflowing - photo 1

    WOW! What a great, easy to read business book. The First
    2 Hours is overflowing with great insights and practical advice to make sure you truly do get the most out of your day.

    Gabrielle Dolan, Global expert on business storytelling and
    author of Stories for Work and Real Communication

    I am a massive fan of Donnas two-part pragmatism and inspiration and The First 2 Hours meets all my expectations and then some. If you want an upgrade around how you live and do life then get your hot little hands on this one. You cant afford not to.

    Georgia Murch, Author and
    keynote speaker

    Many workplaces I go into are chock full of people blearily staring at screens in the morning, stressed and overwhelmed with the amount of work to be done. Donnas book The First 2 Hours is jam packed full of pragmatic ways to change that. Giving us the lens of when rather than what, Donna turns what we do with our day on its head. Donnas approach to how we use our time more effectively is accessible, doable and practical. The research is fascinating, as are the simple ways we can save ourselves from the crushing vortex of busyness fatigue. Along with Donnas previous book The 25 Minute Meeting, The First 2 Hours is a game changer.

    Tracey Ezard, Professional Triber,
    Learning Culture expert, speaker, facilitator and
    author of Glue and The Buzz

    Imagine that there were ways to set ourselves up to have awesomely productive days every day rather than those days where we are struggling to get through our to do list, and find ourselves spending hours outside of work getting our work done. Donna has written a deceptively simple book and shows how, with a few tweaks to our day, we can tap into our energy levels and work so much more productively and enjoyably. Donna continues to set the benchmark for helping us manage our productivity and time, first with The 25 Minute Meeting and now with The First 2 Hours. If you are looking for a practical, evidence-based guide to help you design your day and take back control of your life, you must read this.

    Maree Burgess, Trainer, executive coach, facilitator and author of The XX Project
    and Connecting Us

    With much written about being our best, working at our optimum, needing more sleep and the problems with multi-tasking, The First 2 Hours gathers, presents and explains the leading thinking on what we need to be doing with the most important time of our day. Tasks, activities, self-assessments and tips, combine with practical advice that can be implemented immediately. Leaders and teams in organisations would do well to adopt the advice here to make significant gains personally and professionally. Its time to stop fighting for productivity and start going with the elements that science, experience, research and data say will help us truly be our best. Aaaaah it feels better already.

    About the author

    Donna McGeorge makes work work.

    She is passionate about enhancing the large amount of time we spend in our workplace (too much, for many) to ensure it is effective and productive, as well as enjoyable.

    Donna has worked with managers and leaders throughout Australia and the AsiaPacific for over 20 years. She delivers practical skills, training, workshops and facilitation to corporates such as Nissan Motor Company, Jetstar, Medibank Private and Ford Motor Company so they learn to manage their people well and produce great performance and results.

    Her CV is as eclectic as her record collection (yes, classic vinyl). In addition to roles at Telstra, Qantas, Ernst & Young and Ansett, she has been Manager of Theatre, Sports & Concert Tours for the UK-based Keith Prowse, and AsiaPacific Organisational Development Manager for Ford Motor Company in Shanghai, China.

    Donna also shares her knowledge for good, writing articles for the likes of The Age, Smart Company, B&T, HRM, and other publications. The First 2 Hours is her second book; The 25 Minute Meeting, her first book, was published by John Wiley & Sons in 2018.

    She runs her business from 20 acres in Heathcote, Victoria, a region known for its world-class shiraz, but her most creative moments come while sipping tea on her verandah and gazing at the rolling hills alongside her husband, Steve, and dog, Prudence.

    Donna believes that workplaces are complex, but not hard to get on track. More often than not its getting the simple things right, consistently, that has the greatest impact.

    She also knows that when we decide to be intentional, we can surprise ourselves with what we can achieve. Read on and youll soon see.

    Acknowledgements

    In 2018, I published my first proper book, The 25 Minute Meeting. It was a super steep learning curve and I couldnt have done it without the team that supported me. Now here I am in 2019, publishing my second book (can you imagine?) and, yet again, it has been another team effort.

    Thank you to my friends at Wiley Lucy, for having faith in doing the second book before we saw how the sales for the first would be. Ingrid for answering any and all questions with such patience and forbearance. Peter and the marketing team for getting my books into stores and positioned to their best advantage.

    Kelly Irving legend. You demystify every part of writing a book, and break it down into digestible chunks that not only make the process fluid and manageable, but downright enjoyable. With each book our relationship deepens, making working with you just like hanging out with a mate.
