Time Rich: Do Your Best Work, Live Your Best Life
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 you're 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
- 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 it's possi�ble 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 isn't money; it's 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 we're all so 'busy' -- and how to gain back our most precious resource. Whether you're 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 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

Too long and covers too many things. In addition, a lot of these are no longer novel.

Stevo is the man! Great insights into the history of work and the trading of time, plus advice as to how you can get on the winning side of that trade

Endorses mikenzy csikszentmihalyi's concept of 'flow' which is great, but then also mentions in passing Jordan Peterson's idiotic lobster serotonin case study, and Matt Walkers controversial sleep studies.
Also, briefly analyses the nature of firms and points to tech companies that have less head count but greater market valuation as proof of productivity (i.e. uber, upwork) and praises them for bringing about greater flexibility for workers to organise their labour and time. I think a more convincing view is that these companies are riding a wave of venture capital hype, and don't really deliver workplace flexibility but spin out the actual costs of doing a business to contract labour. To sing the praises of tech platforms that in practice create conditions for the rise of the precariat is focusing on one metric - market cap - at the expense of other societal goods corporations can actually offer (creating value by offering goods and services to consumers, and combing that with generating secure employment for employees).
So I'm giving up on this book as its foundations seems shaky. Which is a shame as some of the tips could be useful. But possibly taking a cue from the book, I'm valuing my time and directing it elsewhere.

At the beginning there are many points that i can relate and implement but going further there are more points that is not suitable for my workplace. Currently. But i am glad at the end, the author does state that not all types of workplaces can use every single steps in this book so i am glad with that. Pick what is suitable for you.
