The Invisible Clock: A Practical Revolution in Finding Time for Everyone and Everything

by George Lawrence-Ell

Have you had any of these thoughts in the past week? I wish I had more time. I don't have time for that. I'm running out of time. This is a waste of time. This is taking too much time. I need more time. Sound familiar? For most of us, juggling too much to do with not enough time in which to do it is a painful, exhausting reality. But out of the cacophony of conflicting advice on scheduling and multi-tasking emerges a resonant voice that goes to the root of our problem with time and offers a fascinating new solution. In this revolutionary book, George Lawrence-Ell looks past superficial approaches to time management and illuminates the very essence of what time is and how we actually experience it. With questions and illustrations as a guide, he takes us on a scintillating journey through our assumptions about clock time, how we actually feel time pass, and ultimately leads us to a practical model we can all use to become time's master instead of its slave.

This book was fascinating. It's interesting to me to think about how we think about time. We know form Einstein that time is not constant, it changes based on our perception of it, and this book talks about how to channel that to be able to do the things that we want and not just the things we "have the time for". Definitely worth reading.
