Book Review and a Giveaway: Take Back Your Time

Take Back Your Time by Morgan Tyree

Maybe you’ve heard enough about time management, and think one more book can’t be any different than what you’ve already read? Maybe you’ve tried goal setting and been overwhelmed by your list? Or, maybe you have extra time on your hands and don’t think you want to hear another reason why you need to be busy? Morgan Tyree yearns to help you embrace the season you’re in, with questions to process and worksheets to create self-awareness surrounding the things that occupy your days.

Morgan Tyree is a professional organizer, writer, and fitness instructor. Her passion to inspire intentionality shines in Take Back Your Time.

Take Back Your Time begins with a look at our accumulation of “stuff.” Morgan says, “Clutter is at the core of each and every one of our time management challenges.”

But, the look at clutter goes beyond, to dig deeper into our purposes, in order to better line up with the priorities we most value. So, a book on time management just went past organizing, to evaluating lifestyles. As someone who struggles with paper clutter, I feel like Morgan talked me away from panic and gave me permission to breathe. Her tone resembles a pep talk and a reminder of the value of one person. One person can make a difference. One person can have the moxie needed to tackle tough assignments. And, one person can experience the wonderful sensation of a job accomplished. Yes, that person is you!

Through setting up productive work spaces, setting aside time zones for optimal productivity, and advocating self-care, or restful activity, Morgan guides the reader to see time as a responsibility, privilege, and a gift. Take Back Your Time will help you realize your best self and equip you to make the most of your days!

I am giving away a copy of Take Back Your Time to a reader in the continental United States. Leave a comment on my blog (at the top of this post, under the title), and tell me how you stay motivated to tackle your goals, and you will be entered into the drawing, to be held in three days, on November 3.
