How to Declutter Your Workspace So You’re More Productive & Profitable With Rita Emmett
Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast! Today, Rita Emmett is in the house! Rita is an expert who helps people overcome their tendency to procrastination and to become more efficient. Last time she offered her advice on this show, it was so well-received that she was invited back. Not only does she help guide people with their problems through her work, but she is also a bestselling author of four books. The first is called The Procrastinator’s Handbook: Mastering the Art of Doing It Now. This was the topic that she covered on the last show she was on. The second book was The Procrastinating Child: A Handbook for Adults to Help Children Stop Putting Things Off. One of her most recent books covers the topic which will be discussed today. It is The Clutter-Busting Handbook: Clean It Up, Clear It Out, And Keep Your Life Clutter-Free.
