I actually read the tagged book in 2003; unfortunately, not much has changed...

1. I worked at a summer camp for individuals with developmental disabilities for a couple summers in high school.

2. My wife and I are attempting to sell crafts at local craft shows.

3. Possible, but not easy, considering the capitalist mindset of those in power #termlimits

Been working through this one slowly but it feels more accessible to me than How to Do Nothing (or at least I‘m having though tangents regarding the informed consent of performance art less).

This book is exactly what it says. Inside are 21 actionable steps anyone can take to get done what needs to be done. There is a lot of value contained within this short book. Another one that should be read often. I've started a few of the ideas outlined. Get it and eat that frog!!

This intrigues me. I need "time management" in my busy life. This looks to be a book of actionable steps, not theory.

This was even better than I hoped it would be. I loved her first book and this careening meander through chronologies, geographies, ornithology, philosophy, ecology, and a myriad of other fractal paths of the narrative was exhilarating.

rockpools Sounds really good! I still haven‘t read her first one 10mo
REPollock @rockpools I loved that book! Good reads notified me when this one came out because I had rated 5* 10mo

An interesting and rather academic look at the meaning of time. Why do we feel like time is scarce? Should time be a commodity? A clock is a tool, but not necessarily the only or best way to think about time. Our obsession with productivity (in the economy/industry at large, but also in our personal lives) is unfortunate and flawed. Slowness can be far more rewarding than speed. Adding her other book, How to Do Nothing, to my TBR.

batsy I loved How to do Nothing! I'm looking forward to this one. 11mo

Between a pick and a so-so for me. Really interesting information on the industrialization of time. But, and this is my usual complaint about non-fiction, the end lagged. The last 80 pages were a real slog for me.
