About the author
Rick Resnick
5 books5 followersRick Resnick is a former newspaper writer, magazine publisher, and media executive whose byline appeared in sponsored features across Fortune, Time, Money, People, and Sports Illustrated.
As a leader of large marketing teams (and as a husband and father), Rick learned time management the hard way – between meetings, deadlines, and inbox avalanches. He practiced what he preaches: blocking "thinking time" on his calendar and occasionally booking conference rooms just to escape phone calls, emails, and drive-by interruptions.
His first book, "The New Husband's Survival Guide," offered laugh-out-loud advice for men trying to coexist peacefully with women. Now he's tackling productivity with "The Moderately Motivated Man's Guide to Time Management"-- the first in a self-help series for guys who want to get better at life without trying too hard.
When he's not writing, Rick plays tennis and golf, obsessively supports Arsenal FC, and sings in a rock cover band based in Pike County, PA.
