Just be mindful of it. Like your breath.

What I like about this audiobook even more is that by having so many methods the main point is just that time is something you can be partners with. Don't conquer it, don't fight it. Just be mindful of it. Like your breath.

I highly recommend it.

When put together and put into practice, the ideas in this audiobook can really change the way you see things. At least it has for me. I am less stressed, more productive, way happier and feel like I'm doing the things I want to do. It's been a long time since I felt that way, and I'm happy that I came across this title after listening so many others before it. I highly recommend it.

RECOMMENDED!!!!

This audiobook describes a cascade of tips and tricks on how to make time in your day - how to highlight what is most important, energize and reflect, then repeat for the next day. Will definitely refer back to this.

I really love this audiobook.

I really love this audiobook. It’s easy to understand, and an entertaining listen. I also appreciate that it’s more of a reference manual, which contributes to the audiobooks goal of helping me iterate on changing my defaults. I say this audiobook is a must listen for anyone who feels short on time.

This is the perfect audiobook for me!

This is the perfect audiobook for me! More than just a "productivity" audiobook. It gives me a great plan to help me work on things that matter. Rather than just stories and examples, they list tons of tactics.
