Being a busy home schooling mother of four active children, time management has felt beyond my reach. These easy steps that Deanna shares in her book have given me hope and I have already started putting them into practice. What a Godsend to me!”

“Juggle” is a common sense approach to time management, written in an amusing, yet concise way by Deanna Doss Shrodes. As owner of two home businesses, I had a couple of “DUH!” moments while reading this book and began following the principles immediately. I already feel a weight lifted from my shoulders!

"Deanna has written a book that speaks to its own topic. Not only is Juggle a book on time management that is easily readable in about an hour; the principles when applied could just as easily give one a 1000 fold return on that hour. Imagine what you would do with a thousand more hours in the next few months."

"I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book! It's just the right length for a busy professional and speaks to the Christian-based leader, so I most connected to the Biblical reference throughout.Professionally, I have been in a rut probably for the past 6 months and had lost the pizazz for my work as a resume writer and career coach. I felt undervalued and under-appreciated, and the compensation in my opinion didn't match the amount of time was putting into my clients. This book couldn't have hit my inbox at a better time to remind me of who I was and who I belong to. Around mid-year with the help of a speaker colleague, I picked myself up, dusted me off and decided to change what I didn't like about my current situation. Juggle re-cements for me, and the aspiring leader, that we weren't born to operate in "the average" but that Jehovah God created us to do exceedingly and abundantly ALL that HE has in store for our lives! Thank you for giving me the confirmation I needed right when I needed it most."

"I always wondered how Deanna got so much accomplished. I would read her blogs and status updates and question if I were moving at all! There is certainly no grass growing underneath this woman's feet! In the past she would share nuggets here and there on how she stayed on task. Finally she shares how she does it all. This book is not like any other time management book or blog post you've encountered before. Deanna explores purpose and asks readers to find out the why. I love her initiatives list and will definitely implement this in my own life. Wonderful read. Will definitely help the busy get organized and manage their time in a way that pleases the Father."

"It was no accident that at the same time I was dealing with some issues such as time management and boundary setting, this book was presented to me. I have a high respect for Deanna and, as a result, read her anecdotes and advice on living with an open heart. I encourage you, too, dear reader, to grab this book if you're feeling overwhelmed and don't know how to get it all done, much less where to start. I'll tell you where to start - start by reading this book!"

"I love this book! Without a doubt, this is the most user-friendly, realistic, and encouraging book on time management that I have ever read. Quite frankly, this has become my go-to resource for quickly realigning my own efforts and priorities. Deanna skillfully blends real life stories and Biblical truths with ten simple keys that anyone can take advantage of. These are some of the very principles that I have found to be critical to fulfilling the purpose and calling of my own life. "Juggle" is a refreshing and to-the-point book that leaves you feeling excited about approaching each day with a renewed confidence to tackle your goals and responsibilities. I am a firm believer along with Deanna that people who know God will accomplish and achieve. We were fashioned to imitate Him by working deliberately, with a sense of purpose, and with a resolve for excellence. The apostle Paul said, "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me." (1 Cor. 15:10 ESV) "Juggle" will teach you practical steps toward cooperating with the grace of God in your life and bringing glory to Him by accomplishing the special purpose He has designed for you."

"JUGGLE is a quick, easy read loaded with practical application for time management. Deanna shares her personal experiences that seem to give you a green light for making decisions you've only thought of but were afraid to. I personally loved her insights on list-making -- and what woman doesn't need to make lists? I plan to implement her creative and yet very doable list processes."

JUGGLE is the culmination of an unending effort to make this earthly journey a "well oiled machine". JUGGLE offers a defined road map to navigate our fast-paced culture with more ease, and less stress. It's contents offer help to men and women alike, and should be required reading for teens."

It is a great, balanced read--motivational and yet practical. It's like having Deanna over for coffee and some face-to-face life coaching. Priceless resource!"

"Deanna Shrodes has done it again! This book will allow the reader a practical guide for planning, prioritizing and pursuing their dreams. In a day of smart phones and tablets, where there is an app for everything, JUGGLE reminds us of simple ways to use the tools at our disposal to help us accomplish short-term and long-term goals. Deanna's personal observations and examples make it seem as if she is your personal life-coach sitting in the room encouraging you to your greatest good. Many people talk about having "too many things on their plate", as a the Administrative Pastor of Salem Missionary Baptist Church, I often have a lot on my plate and it sometimes seems the plate may be broken, chipped and possibly borrowed. Reading JUGGLE has reminded me of how to maintain excellence and integrity in my daily walk. By utilizing lists and determining the value and volume of the work before me, I can balance a full schedule without running on empty."

"Deanna has the unique ability to blend education with inspiration and her new book Juggle accomplishes just that. In a style of writing that is both practical and personal, she will meet you in the middle of your daily life and invite you into hers. Each chapter offers real recommendations from a woman who is honestly producing more in a day than most of us produce in a month. Be encouraged that by applying one principle at at a time, you too can learn to juggle."
