Off the Clock: Feel Less Busy While Getting More Done

Autor Laura Vanderkam
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 aug 2018

Ceea ce diferențiază Off the Clock de restul literaturii de specialitate este refuzul de a trata timpul ca pe o resursă pur matematică ce trebuie „tăiată” și „eficientizată” până la epuizare. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Laura Vanderkam mută discuția de la productivitatea mecanică spre psihologia percepției timpului. Găsim în această carte un argument solid împotriva culturii „ocupării” perpetue, autoarea demonstrând că stresul nu vine din lipsa minutelor, ci din modul în care ne raportăm la ele. Considerăm că forța acestui volum rezidă în echilibrul dintre rigoarea științifică și studiile de caz practice, oferind cititorului instrumente pentru a „extinde” simbolic timpul prin amintiri de calitate și prezență conștientă. Complementar volumului The Productivity Project, care se concentrează pe experimente de eficiență personală, Off the Clock acoperă zona stării de bine și a satisfacției emoționale, aspecte pe care ghidurile tehnice de managementul timpului tind să le ignore. În contextul operei sale, dacă în What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast Laura Vanderkam punea accentul pe structura riguroasă a dimineților, aici ea evoluează spre o viziune mai nuanțată și mai umană, integrând lecții din 168 Hours pentru a ne învăța cum să trăim o viață bogată fără a sacrifica liniștea mentală.

Descriere

'Laura Vanderkam is one of the world's leading experts in time management and productivity . . . her insights in Off the Clock can change your life' - Dorie Clark, author of Stand Out

'Laura Vanderkam delivers a compelling and evidence-based argument that busyness is overrated in our current culture. Living a full life, at work and at home, is about doing the right things well, and confidently missing out on everything else' - Cal Newport, bestselling author of Deep Work

'I loved it . . . Vanderkam expertly weaves together interviews with experts, anecdotes about her own personal life, philosophical musings, and scientific research' - Shana Lebowitz, Business Insider UK

Learn to savour life's best moments - no matter how busy you are - through mindset shifts that alter your perception of time.

Laura Vanderkam, the acclaimed author of What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast, isn't like other time-management gurus. She's not trying to shave off 30 seconds here or there; she's interested in the emotional and psychological side of the 168 hours everyone has each week. Her message is that we all have more time than we think we do, and can feel less stressed while getting more done.

With the right habits, you can live efficiently and effectively, and yet still see time as abundant. For instance, Vanderkam teaches:

- How to clear your calendar of activities that are boring, stressful or simply not the best use of your time
- Why tackling your top priorities during the hours when you have the most energy will change your perception of what it means to be productive
- How to linger in great experiences while they're happening, and why good memories seem to make time expand

Packed with insights from busy yet relaxed professionals, including 'time makeovers' of people who are learning to use these tools, Off the Clock can inspire the rest of us to creative lives that are not only productive, but enjoyable in the moment.

Savour life's best moments - no matter how busy you are - through mindset shifts that alter your perception of time

Most of us feel constantly behind, unsure how to escape feeling oppressed by busyness. Unlike other time-management gurus, Laura Vanderkam believes that in order to get more done, we must first feel like we have all the time in the world.

In this book, Vanderkam reveals the seven counter-intuitive principles the most time-free people have adopted. She teaches mindset shifts to help you feel calm on the busiest days and tools to help you get more done without feeling overwhelmed.

You'll meet people such as:
· A head teacher who figured out how to spend more time mentoring teachers, and less time supervising the cafeteria
· An executive who builds lots of meeting-free space into his calendar, despite managing teams across multiple continents
· A CEO who does focused work in a coffee shop early in the morning, so he can keep an open door and a relaxed mindset all day
· An artist who overcame a creative block and reached new heights of productivity, by being more gentle with herself, rather than more demanding.

The strategies in this book can help if your life feels out of control, but they can also help if you want to take your career, your relationships and your personal happiness to the next level. Vanderkam has packed this book with insights from busy yet relaxed professionals, including "time makeovers" of people who are learning how to use these tools. Off the Clock can inspire the rest of us to create lives that are not only productive, but enjoyable in the moment.
