How to Be More Intentional with Time

De: Laura Vanderkam

Narrado por: Laura Vanderkam

We all have the same amount of time: 24 hours in a day, 168 hours in a week, 8,760 hours in a year. People who do amazing things in the world - developing a new cancer drug, creating award-winning ads, helping their communities - may seem to have all sorts of advantages. But they don’t have any more hours than the rest of us. Instead, they may be allocating their hours in interesting ways that the rest of us can learn from. We can use their strategies to feel less busy and get more done too.

In this workshop, time management expert Laura Vanderkam explains about how broadening our perspective on time will help us be more intentional with the hours we have, and shares the simple, practical steps your team can take to start making time work for them.

Key Takeaways:

• Know the Difference: How you think about time - and how you actually spend it

• Low-Tech Time Tracking: Simple, easy tips for tracking your time

• Create More Space: How and why to build more open space into your calendar

• Avoid the “Busyness Trap”: Tips to keep you productive and relaxed

Quick and useful

A quick session that's practical and useful. I recommend it. Especially for a staff meeting.

short but useful

the audiobook will not help you overcome procrastination or give you tips to focus as other have mentioned. however, this is not the goal of this audiobook, instead it's about the perspective we have on time and how we can change our mindset to make the most out of out time

Quick and easy

I am on the self development path and stumbled across this in the plus catalog. Didn't know anything about Laura until I looked her up. Her concept of 168 hours makes sense; perspective is everything, she definitely changed mine. Looking forward to tracking my time!

short and sweet

I thought the audio book was great, perfect book to listen to during a short walk or workout. Helps you reconsider how you view and value time and how to make the most of it. Excellent book references mentioned.
