Uptime. The Optimal Way to Manage Time and Energy

How often have you stayed late at the office to finish an important project, while at home you spent time on routine tasks and learning, even though you just wanted to lie down and forget about everything while watching your favorite series? Every day we try to work faster and accomplish as much as possible, but this leads to stress, procrastination, and burnout. A well-known productivity expert, coach to top managers at Google, and mother of three, Laura Mae Martin, believes that productivity is not measured by the time we spend working. She suggests replacing the endless chase for productivity with a revolutionary concept of energy management. The author borrowed the term "uptime" from the IT field — the time during which a computer works productively — and explains how to use the time during which you work productively. Uptime is our "power hours," when we enjoy what we do, and our energy and focus are at their peak. In her book, Laura Mae Martin explains how to learn to take advantage of this time, shares proven energy management strategies, explains how to prioritize, identify your productivity peaks, and use them to achieve better results without burning out.
