“Can you be satisfied with your life if your working hours are unhappy?”
Things you absolutely need to know to save more time at work!

Work-life balance has gone beyond a trend and has become a paradigm of life.
There are more and more people who are doing the work they want, even if it means receiving a lower salary or being promoted a little later, in line with their own goals and growth rate.
This trend is positive, as our society has been accustomed to the myth of quick success and overwork is a daily occurrence.
However, what is unfortunate about stories about work-life balance and N-jobbers is that most of them focus only on 'life after work.'
It's full of stories about meeting different people after work, studying investment, and enjoying hobbies like exercise and painting.
But the sad truth is that every working person spends at least 9 hours a day during the week 'before leaving work'.

If your work hours are terrible, life will still be tough, no matter how satisfying your life after work may be.
What if every proposal you submit is rejected, and your five-page report is constantly slashed by your team leader? What if, despite repeated reminders to your junior staff, they still deliver the wrong results, forcing you to start all over again? What if, to put it mildly, you have a strange colleague who constantly criticizes you in the break room? In such a situation, no matter how satisfying the after-work book discussions, yoga classes, or exhibition visits, it's hard to call that life truly happy.
For working people, it is just as important to use the time before work wisely as it is to plan for an enjoyable time after work.
This book contains the know-how and special habits of people who are good at their jobs, especially those who know how to work efficiently while also enjoying life.

“So, what should I do to do my job well?”
Author Park So-yeon, a mentor to working people, shares the secrets of planning, speaking, writing, and relationships of those who excel at their jobs.

The author had the opportunity to work with so-called aces, famous for their hard work, and observe and learn from their work habits.
As I observed how corporate CEOs, executives, and those who rose above 99% of their peers handled their work, and how the staff of the government, the National Assembly, and the Blue House, which create national policy, planned and executed countless projects, I discovered one commonality.
They excelled at addressing the four most common areas of work, the four areas where many workers struggle and burn out their energy.

① Planning simply - the mindset that separates successful people from everyone else
② Simple writing - Writing skills that work in the workplace, from reports to proposals to press releases
③ Speaking simply - An amazing technique that gets to the point from the beginning and doesn't make the listener feel frustrated.
④ Keep relationships simple - work while being kind and maintaining a proper 'line'

From planning, writing, speaking, and relationships, there are certainly ways to efficiently accomplish the tasks we encounter every day in our work lives.
Learning this method will improve project performance, allow you to talk comfortably and without tension with your boss, and smoothen stressful relationships within the company.

Work, words, relationships, and ways of thinking,
Simply!

Whether you're a worker who finds meaning and passion in your work or someone who wants to cherish life after work, they all share one thing in common: the desire to do a good job.
It contains the secrets to working efficiently and effectively to meet all of these needs.
Each chapter features a variety of real-life stories we encounter in our work lives, making it even more relatable.
So, let's begin the practice of clearing away the clutter to create energy to focus on what matters most through this book.
