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.
