Timecrafting: A Better Way to Get the Right Things Done

by Mike Vardy

Mike Vardy's TimeCrafting: A Better Way to Get the Right Things Done is a guidebook for time management and personal productivity. Divided into three sections--Mindset, Method, and Mastery--the book presents (proven) simple and durable strategies that will aid the reader in creating a flexible personal productivity framework. Learn how to leverage the elements that can be found within time (such as awareness, clarity, focus, and attention) in order to craft your time instead of simply trying to manage it. Productivity processes don't have to be complicated. Vardy introduces a methodology that nurtures the relationship between intention and attention to help break biases and learned behaviors that keep you from being truly productive.
