Time is a commodity that is certainly as precious as money. If you find yourself time deprived, then I recommend this book by Valarie Burton. Ms. Burton gives you strategies that help you choose meaningful over "busyness."
This review is my own but I was fortunate to receive an ARC.
I highly recommend you read this book as it will improve your life. The author writes to all of us that are chronically stressed over lack of time to accomplish our tasks and responsibilities. The author has presented tools, lessons and tips that make you a better person, teach you to slow down and appreciate life and manage your time with more self love. I loved this book and highly recommend it to all that wish to improve upon their over stressed over scheduled lives. After reading this book you can put exercises into play that will improve your life and teach you over time that yes we do have enough time and must take time to enjoy life and honor our lives without the pressure of modern society taking over. Very well done and highly recommended.
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 into present-day context. She examines some issues that weren’t even dreamed of in the 1960s when Tyranny of the Urgent was written.
Burton is a busy wife, mom, speaker, and author with a background in psychology and motivation. With all that going on, she certainly needs to be able to master her time!
Writing from a Christian perspective, Burton uses personal stories from her family as well as examples from the lives of friends to illustrate her points. Burton introduces the idea of thinking about time in the same terms we use to think about and discuss money. We can be in time debt, be time poor, and even build time wealth.
For those who want to get the most out of this book and start to apply Burton’s lessons, she gives meaningful assignments and exercises to help you realize how you are spending your time and discover the motivation for the choices you are making.
Burton’s writing is clear and the book is well organized. It’s About Time offers a significant value in a small package. Is it time to reorder your priorities?
I am not a Blogger but an average reader, I love to read good material. When I saw the title of your book along with the design I had to inquire and I was not disappointed. This book was well overdue, I cannot wait until it is publish. If you are giving out free copies I would love to have one.
