Publisher's summary

Discover the eternal value of your finite time - and intentionally choose the meaningful over the urgent every single day.

Our culture makes it so that even the most organized and efficient among us feels the pressure of the ticking clock and the possibility and regret of missing out. Modern life has evolved in a way that sets us up for stress, pressure, and overload. New norms and attitudes tap into deeply wired psychological impulses that make it harder than ever to take control of your time. Many of us also have innate personality traits that make the struggle even worse.

No wonder time can become a tyrant that leaves us chronically stressed and discontented. Unlock an approach to life that best-selling author Valorie Burton calls “living timelessly”. You will come to understand:

  1. The gradual changes that have led us to a place where having too much to do and too little time to do it is the norm
  2. The vision for what it could look like if you were free from the stress of time and how to blast through the obstacles to those possibilities
  3. The practical steps to choosing the meaningful over the urgent so that your life is unhurried yet purposeful and reflects the values and impact that are unique to you.

It’s About Time helps you reimagine a life that is meaningful, at a pace that is natural, with a load that is doable and equips you with the tools to make it happen.

Assessments and exercises available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What a listen

Everything about this book applies to my now. I opened up my planner and started crossing out the unnecessary and stretching out my to do list to give me more mindfulness time. Thank you Valorie Burton and for taking the time to do your reading.

Opened My Eyes

This is such an insightful book. It opened my eyes to all of the new normals that I’ve adopted that should not be normal in my life. The time spent on social media, the constant focus on the urgent vs. the meaningful and lack of thoughtful decision making on how I spend my time. The tools and ideas shared in this book on how to take back your life are easy to understand and adopt. I am excited about the possibilities that will emerge as I apply the lessons learned from this book. Excellent book!

I'm thankful this wasn't simply a fluff piece!

This was the first title I've read by Mrs. Burton but it will not be the last! I love her delivery, the way she includes actionable steps backed by science and how she didn't present the information pretentiously!!! I will come back to this book over and over to work through the changing phases of life. Thank you!!!
