The 15-Minute Method

The Surprisingly Simple Art of Getting It Done

By: Sam Bennett

Narrated by: Sam Bennett

Feeling overwhelmed? Procrastinating, then frantically pushing to get everything done? The good news is that healthy productivity is not about doing more. It’s about doing more of what matters. Modern life has us feeling swamped, unsure how to move forward on goals and dreams while still managing the day-to-day. And then there are all those other things still on the list: the garage needs cleaning, those photos need organizing, and the emails, the emails, the emails . . .

Sam Bennett presents a radically simple idea: small actions, the kind you can do in 15 minutes, are enough to move the needle on your levels of joy and satisfaction—and ultimately change your life. Sam guides you from overwhelm to accomplishment by showing you how to:

• let go of perfectionism, self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and other destructive patterns

• manage when life feels out of control due to health or family concerns

• break intimidating projects into a series of manageable tasks

• tactfully say no to extra work when people put you on the spot

• take a quarter of an hour a day for yourself to create new routines that support a balanced life

I LOVE everything about this book!

Sam Bennett’s “15 Minute Method” was just what I needed to re-create momentum on my book writing project after a whirlwind summer and kids finally back in school. Starting on Step 2 was one of the gems that immediately jump started me. This book is literally packed full of wisdom, wit, inspiration and fresh ideas. I love how Sam brings her strength, vulnerability, humor, fierceness and brilliance to life in each impactful chapter. It’s a fun listen. Too many takeaways to name. I’m now going to buy the actual book because there are so many 15 minute Experiments I was to experiment with. Sam is truly a gifted and beautiful writer!!!

I laughed! I cried!

In her latest book, Sam shares valuable nuggets of wisdom from her coaching career that hit home. It is filled with helpful insights and questions like, "What if you never needed to be right ever again?" 🤯

Her background as an actress makes for a wonderful and entertaining listening experience. I highly recommend giving this book a listen!
