Hello Reader, I’m blown away by the support for the new edition of my book, Managing Multiple Projects. Thank you, everyone who sent messages – it really feels like this book has touched a nerve! I think, as a profession of exhausted people, perhaps I’ve managed to create something that has come at the right time.
