Saving Time.

Busyness has become the new normal. Work is now a constant hustle, with people in virtually every workplace racing from meetings to calls to strategy sessions. Time sets their pace: Deadlines loom, and demands pour in. Often, this steady, speedy pace pours over into nonwork time, forcing many to flit from one obligation to another. If this is your reality, you may crave time to rest, relax, and reconnect with yourself and the world around you. But before you try carving out this time through a new wave of productivity and efficiency hacks, consider an alternative: simply slowing down. In Saving Time, Jenny Odell explores how people have become obsessed with maximizing their time and squeezing every drop of productivity from their days. The New York Times best-selling author of How to Do Nothing calls for a more sustainable practice, one in which you break free from the capitalistic pressures of pace and follow your natural rhythm.
