Synopsis

Discover the eternal value of your finite time—and intentionally choose the meaningful over the urgent every single day.Our culture makes it so that even the most organized and efficient among us feels the pressure of the ticking clock and the possibility and regret of missing out. Modern life has evolved in a way that sets us up for stress, pressure, and overload. New norms and attitudes tap into deeply-wired psychological impulses that make it harder than ever to take control of your time. Many of us also have innate personality traits that make the struggle even worse. No wonder time can become a tyrant that leaves us chronically stressed and discontented. Unlock an approach to life that bestselling author Valorie Burton calls “living timelessly.” You will come to understand 1)    the gradual changes that have led us to a place where having too much to do and too little time to do it is the norm,2)    the vision for what it could look like if you were free from the stress of time and how to blast through the obstacles to those possibilities, and3)    the practical steps to choosing the meaningful over the urgent so that your life is unhurried yet purposeful and reflects the values and impact that are unique to you. It’s About Time helps you reimagine a life that is meaningful, at a pace that is natural, with a load that is doable and equips you with the tools to make it happen. Assessments and exercises available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

I was pleasantly surprised b......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on April 24, 2019

Wake up. Work. Cook. Clean. Sleep. Repeat. Today’s culture of constant “go, go, go” to get things done within some time limit makes us lose sight of what really matter in our lives. We do not have time to slow down and ponder what is our life’s purpose. Instead, we wake up each day going to the grin......more

Goodreads review by Sonya Dixon on April 30, 2019

From the very start of the book each chapter is full of meaningful content. We are led through the process of understanding where we are spending our time, determining if the time expenditure is on things and people that align with what’s most valuable/meaningful to us and realigning our life’s acti......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on May 13, 2020

I listened to this as an audio book during the COVID crisis. I appreciate her concepts of time poverty, time debt, and philosophy of meaningful over urgent. She gives many poignant examples about the importance of setting priorities and budgeting time accordingly. 4 not 5 because some of it feels re......more

Review of It’s About Time: The Art of Choosing the Meaningful Over the Urgent, by Valorie Burton When I saw the title of this book, I thought it would be a rehash of a little booklet I read decades ago called Tyranny of the Urgent. Some of the principles may be the same, but Burton brings everything......more
