There are 168 hours in a week. This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better. It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. With the rise of two-income families, extreme jobs, and 24/7 connectivity, life is so frenzied we can barely find time to breathe. We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals. But then we give up because there just aren't enough hours to do it all. Or else, if we don't make excuses, we make sacrifices. To get ahead at work we spend less time with our spouses. To carve out more family time, we put off getting in shape. To train for a marathon...

Summary of Laura Vanderkam's Off the Clock
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The author, Robert Kauffman, was a school principal for 21 years. He found that the most important thing he did was not done, and that was to spend time with his best teachers and help those who needed it. #2 After tracking his time, Kauffman was able to see where he was spending his time and make adjustments. He was spending 51 percent of his time on instructional leadership, which had a positive impact on the students of Hillside. #3 Tracking and monitoring your time can lead to a surprising mental lightening. It can upgrade your life all the way around, allowing you to be more effective at school and with your family. #4 The discipline of tracking your time and minding your hours changes the experience of time. It can lead to a savored life. As the Buddhist monk and meditation teacher Bhante Henepola Gunaratana writes in his book Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English, Mindfulness gives you time. Time gives you choices. Choices, skillfully made, lead to freedom.
