Off the Clock Feel Less Busy While Getting More Done eBook Laura Vanderkam

It's no exaggeration to say that Laura Vanderkam's writing has changed my life. Her earlier books forced me to confront my own part in procrastination, avoiding hard tasks and making excuses like "I don't have the time." This book - Off the Clock - crystalizes all her earlier writing into an easy-to-follow (though sometimes counterintuitive) set of principles for making the most of your time. The author is a busy journalist, speaker, wife and mother of four, so I suppose it makes sense that she's figured out the secret to feeling less busy while getting more done -- as the subtitle of this book says. If you only buy one productivity or time management book this year, make it Off the Clock. Highly recommended!

Off the Clock Feel Less Busy While Getting More Done eBook Laura Vanderkam Reviews

Laura’s book I Know How She Does It changed by life for the better in so many ways, so I’ve been a loyal follower of her blog and podcast ever since. This new release presents actionable and mind-bending advice in a very readable format. I read it in a single sitting the day it came out. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make the most of their time!
With non-fiction, if I come away from a book with one good idea I feel I've spent my money well. Vanderkam's latest left me with far more than one, but the idea that we really want more memories--not time--was particularly poignant.
I am a professor of microbiology & infectious diseases. I have studied productivity approaches for many years now, and mentor postdoctoral fellows and graduate students on time investment - not time management. There have been many outstanding books over the years within this realm, but of all of the books I have read and studied (easily over 100), this book is clearly the most outstanding of them all. Laura teaches us to understand our relationship with time. As I mentioned, I am a strong advocate of time investment -- making sure you schedule your priorities first. Laura embraces this within the section on "tending your garden", but goes significantly beyond time investment. You MUST get this book! Her insights and approaches come down to one central thing -- make your life meaningful and memorable. Get the book -- a gem like this needs to be read over and over and should be on your coffee table, bookshelf, and in your shoulder bag. It truly is that good! Cheers to Laura Vanderkam on this masterpiece!
This book gave me some helpful insights into time and productivity. Before reading this I already considered myself fairly productive and wasn't sure what I'd get our of the book. However there are some very thought provoking concepts in ths book.

I am charging ahead with one of the tips basically around doing a little every day. There are a few projects that seem to overwhelm...I would start and stop many times in the past few years. Thinking that I can just do a little each day (or week) has actually gotten me farther on these projects in the past 2 weeks than I have gotten in the past 2 years!
This is my favorite of Laura Vanderkam's books. It combines practical tips along with research and philosophical references and musings. This is so much more than a time management book. It really opened my eyes to seeing time and, consequently,my schedule differently. Looking at things weekly/monthly/by season has made a huge difference for me, as well as thinking about what I truly want to spend time on and making those things a priority. I'm fairly certain I highlighted something on nearly every page. I especially loved the parts about how to be sure to remember these great memories you're creating. The worksheets in the back were helpful in trying to implement some of the things she mentioned. The case studies and the time diary analysis were helpful in showing how other people view/spend time.
Both practical and philosophical, Off the Clock is my favorite Vanderkam book to date. It comes at just the right time -- as I'm trying to make the most of some big life changes. A great balance of interviews, data, and personal anecdotes, Off the Clock is full of ideas you can implement immediately, as well as ways to reframe the way you look at your time and your life. I'm a working parent with a creative side hustle, and this book makes me feel relaxed about what I want to accomplish, not anxious. Highly recommend, along with her life-changing older book, 168 Hours.
I consider Laura Vanderkam's work life changing. I took a cue from her book 168 Hours and created a 100 Dreams List the year I turned 40. I've been living fuller and more purposefully life ever since. With Off the Clock, she is helping me to tune into those experiences and helping me refine my approach to designing the life I want.
With Vanderkam's help I am working to let go of the idea of time scarcity. It's an easy trap to fall into since busy seems to be a badge of honor. But my goal is to have more white space on my calendar (so I can be creative and experience the world around me) and to linger in moments that matter to me.
If you can't remember on Monday what you did over the weekend, you need to read this book.
If your days are flying by too fast, you need to read this book.
If you feel like you never have time for the people or things you love, you need to read this book.
