Though the story of Emily and Paul, a working couple with different job situations, the author shows how to better organize, prioritize, remember, and process our working lives. Explores such issues as why our brains feel so taxed, and how to maximize our mental resources; why changing behavior is so difficult - and how to make it less so; why focusing on problems doesn't seem to create the desired change; and how concentration and focus change the brain, and how to maintain energy and productivity at work.
