Recover wasted time and start living your fullest life Most of us wouldn't dare give away our money, but when it comes to time, we let it go without a second thought. Business and creative professionals often dedicate long hours to their work, with little to show for it.
We take on more than we should, we treat everything as urgent, and we attend pointless meetings. This book can help you see where you might be sabotaging your own goals. Time Rich helps you identify where youre losing personal time and mismanaging career time. Through practical productivity tools and techniques, author and entrepreneur Steve Glaveski will show you how to be more productive at work, have more time to pursue your personal and life goals, and build a culture that supports achieving objectives without risking burnout. Learn how to: Identity how you are wasting time Manage your attention, get into the zone and stay there longer Prioritise, automate and outsource tasks Optimise your mind and body Time Rich is a blueprint for recovering your work hours, achieving more and spending time where it matters most. Steve Glaveski understands something that few leaders have figured out: its possible to do less and get more done. This book offers a blueprint for working smarter. Adam Grant, New York Times best-selling author of Originals and Give and Take, and host of the chart-topping TED podcast WorkLife Time isnt money; its something of far more value. Glaveski makes the case that we ought to be protecting our time much more than we product other resources. And best of all, he shows you how. David Burkus, author of Under New Management Steve Glaveski offers countless ways to get more out of each day by being Time Rich. Nir Eyal, best-selling author of Hooked and Indistractable Time Rich by Steve Glaveski makes a compelling argument for abandoning the archaic historical artefact of an 8 hour work-day (or any other arbitrary sum of time) as outmoded and irrelevant to the way we live and do our best work today. Glaveski offers both big ideas and specific techniques to contain or eliminate such time-snatching demons as meetings, email and social media. Reclaim the value of your time by forsaking the management of it and learning instead to manage energy, efficiency and attention inputs with far greater impact on output and outcomes, not to mention quality of life. Whitney Johnson, award-winning author of Disrupt Yourself and Build an A-Team Time Rich is a fascinating look into why were all so busy and how to gain back our most precious resource. Whether youre a beginner or a seasoned productivity geek, this book will change your life. Jonathan Levi, author, podcaster, and founder of SuperHuman Academy A very worthwhile read for ambitious professionals to achieve that elusive work-life holy grail: being present and engaged at home without sacrificing anything on the work front and even, perhaps, becoming more productive than you ever thought you could be. Andy Molinsky, award-winning author of Global Dexterity and Reach

Do we need another time management book? I didn’t think so, but this one really does add value. It’s got all the things you’re probably familiar with like the Eisenhower Principle, the Pomodoro Technique, Batching, and Swallow that Frog. But there’s more to it than that. It’s got excellent advice on how to achieve flow in our work – the secret to high productivity. It has a very practical guide to automating work, with information about vendors of useful, inexpensive software that can be a game-changer for you. And there’s lots of contrarian advice, convincingly argued – such as why we should work a six hour day, and why open-plan offices are a bad thing. I’ve found this a very useful book.
