About the Book

We have a time problem, but not the one we think. We want to manage it, control it, spend it, waste it, make it, measure it, and invest it. We even complain that we don’t have enough of it. It’s as if “being busy” is a new badge of importance, and the “busiest” person wins some imaginary competition.

It’s Not About Time tackles that topic and others, while addressing the central question: Why do some people achieve their career or business goals, maximize their results, and even accomplish their dreams while others tread water is a sea of busyness? The answer isn’t better time-management, but rather, reflective and integrated from the inside-out, self-management.

“Nan Russell’s It’s Not About Time is one of the most inspiring and refreshing books I’ve read in ages! Thoughtfully written and well-researched, this book is a great reminder that claiming ownership of our lives is fundamentally about self-management, not time-management. For all of us striving to fulfill our human potential, there will always be more to do than there are hours in the day, and where “productivity hacks” and flashy organizational systems ultimately fall short, Nan’s approach is one that promises to withstand the test of time, while also being practically useful and personally empowering.”
