    About the Author
    Dave, Dorothy, and Ben are father, daughter, and son in the famous juggling Finnigan family. All are amazingly talented at juggling, and all have performed their craft before audiences throughout the country.

    Dave Finnigan is the former education director of the International Jugglers Association (IJA) and was the first-ever recipient of the IJA’s Excellence in Education Award. He is also the author of The Complete Juggler and The Joy of Juggling, and a prolific showman and highly respected instructor. Since 1976 he has visited more than 2,000 schools and taught more than a million people in 41 states and 12 countries to juggle. Dave is well known for incorporating a variety of teaching styles and uses those techniques to help children learn, while at the same time encouraging a positive self-image.

    Dorothy Finnigan, at age 16, is one of the most accomplished female jugglers in the United States. She has personally taught thousands of children and adults to juggle in her travels. She was also the winner of the Most Promising Woman Award from the IJA in 1997 and in Montreal in 2000 was the first female ever to receive a medal in the IJA junior competition.

    Ben Finnigan, age 12, is also an up-and-coming star in the world of juggling. Ben claims to be as good a juggler at 12 as his father was at 36, or is at 59. Although he is a member of a juggling family, Ben always reminds everyone that he is "just a regular kid" and living proof that anyone, young or old, can learn to juggle with the right instruction.

    Juggling is time management5
    .

    Have you ever seen a juggler in the park and wonder "How'd they do that?" Well, it ain't that hard, and this book makes it down right simple.

    When you learn to juggle with your kids, you give them and yourself a serious boost of self-confidence and increases manual dexterity rather remarkably.

    But most importantly, juggling teaches you time management.

    Right know you are probably thinking "HUH!"

    Bear with me.

    When you juggle you are working with three or more objects (hereafter: balls), you always have one ball in each hand and one ball in the air. All you need to do with the ball in each hand is gain control (catch) and change direction (toss). But, you must do it quickly because you have a ball in the air that will need attention very soon.

    NONE OF THE BALLS NEED CONSTANT ATTENTION.

    Back at the office: you have several projects at ay give time. As a project manager, you need to insure that each project gets all the attention it needs at just the right time, and move on to the next project.

    See, over simplified.
