Description:


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 aren't 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 body™s 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

As advertsied but not for me
Size: Small, Color: Light Beige
The shirt is exactly as advertised. I did not find it flattering on me, and likely won't be wearing it. That doesn't mean it is a bad shirt, it just isn't the right one for me. If you want something lightweight for summer and like this shirt style, this may be a good choice. Otherwise, find something you like more.

Relaxed Fit Linen Blend Button Down Shirt
Size: Large, Color: Light Beige, Size: Large, Color: Light Beige
I like this shirt and it actually looks better than it does in the attached photo. The shirt is 55% linen and I took the photo without ironing because I wanted to show that this shirt is better than many linen shirts when it comes to wrinkles. In fact, I can steam the wrinkles out and don’t need to drag out the iron. The shirt is cool and comfortable. I like that you can use the draw string waist to make it more fitted. The button holes are a little small, which makes it harder for those of us who have arthritis to use. I will just leave most of the buttons fastened and slip the shirt over my head. It seems very well made. I looked it over carefully and did not find any loose threads or missed stitches. I think this is a good value.

Cute summer top
Size: Large, Color: Light Beige, Size: Large, Color: Light Beige
Cute and comfortable linen blend shirt that’s perfect for summer. The fit is relaxed without looking oversized or sloppy, which I really like. I usually wear between a large and extra large depending on the chest area, and I ordered the large based on the size chart. It fit correctly according to the measurements, but I personally think the extra large may have been a little more comfortable for me through the bust. For reference, I’m around a 33-inch waist and a 42C bust. The light beige color is really pretty and easy to style with denim jeans, jean skirts, or sandals for a casual summer look. Since it’s a lighter-colored cotton-linen blend, you’ll want to wear the proper undergarments underneath depending on your skin tone, which is pretty normal for linen-style fabrics. I also love the adjustable cinched waist because it gives the shirt a more flattering shape without making it tight. Overall, it’s a beautiful lightweight top with a nice relaxed fit, and I definitely recommend it.

Linen/Cotton Blend; Machine Wash Cold, Lay Flat or Hang to Dry; Real Buttons
Size: Medium, Color: Light Beige, Size: Medium, Color: Light Beige
Amazon Essentials Women's Relaxed Fit Linen Blend Wide Sleeve Shirt with Adjustable Tie Waist Review: I got this for my daughter mostly (we trade clothes back and forth), and she finds it very comfortable and flattering. For reference, her measurements are about: 39 inches around the bust 35 inches around the hips/stomach  And 42 inches around the bottom   I ordered her a Medium, and it fits her very well, but it's on the edge of being big. If she lost a little weight, it might seem big but fit me a little better, but it fits her very well now. It's a very breathable fabric, and the cut is flattering. It is a little see through, not majorly, but she says she will probably wear it with a white or nude tank top as an underlayer, possibly with a bra too, but at that point it might be too hot for a summer outfit. It could be dressed up or down and would pair well with a skirt or jeans, with sandals or heels or cute sneakers. It could also be worn fully unbuttoned over a tank top, if one wanted. The buttons are real, and seem well-sewn. The collar is initially reluctant to stay open, but it will relax in time or one of us could iron it like that, but we're unlikely to, lol.   The only complaint she had was that when she goes to raise up her arms and hold them horizontally out in front of herself, the sleeves and shoulders become too tight across the back and up the arms, although this is a very common problem, unfortunately, with women's/girl's clothing. We'll have to live with it, but it will keep the shirt from being worn as often as it might have been. We're definitely happy for the natural fibers (a linen/cotton blend). We are both excited to wear and style it. I'll include photos.

Stylish & Comfortable Linen Blend Shirt with Great Fit and Durable Feel
Size: Small, Color: Light Beige
This Amazon Essentials linen blend shirt is a really nice addition to my wardrobe. The relaxed fit sits comfortably without feeling too loose or shapeless, and it drapes well on the body. The wide sleeves and adjustable waist add a stylish touch, making it look both casual and slightly dressed-up at the same time. The fabric feels good—light, breathable, and perfect for everyday wear. It has that easy, airy feel that works really well for warm weather while still looking put together. After the first wash, I was happy to see that the quality stayed the same. No noticeable shrinking, fading, or change in texture, which gives confidence that it will hold up well over time. Overall, it’s a simple but very flattering shirt that combines comfort, style, and good durability. Great for everyday outfits or casual outings where you still want to look a bit polished.
