Human life is ridiculously short. And if you’re a woman, you spend half of that life defined by other people’s expectations. Not surprisingly, your life feels busy and you barely get to do things for yourself. According to the standard recipes of time management, you should get up a bit earlier or work more efficiently. But time pressure comes largely from outside – for example from hustle culture and the sexist expectations for mothers to work as if they have no children and to mother as if they have no career.
This book advocates nothing less than a time revolution, which you can help unleash. The result: a completely different experience of your time, allowing you to enjoy your one precious life consciously and to the fullest. But how? Easy, reevaluate your thinking, stop pleasing, set boundaries and put yourself first. Does that sound difficult? This book will teach
you how.
