Can you control the wind if you’re sailing on a yacht? Or the flow of a river your boat is moving along? Or the climate of the place where you live? Of course not! Just like you can’t control the flow of time either, but you can learn to befriend it over time. That’s exactly what Svetlana Ivanova tells in her new book. She doesn’t ask you to try to subdue time—instead she suggests you first understand yourself to figure out what will help you become friends with time. The book includes tests that let you analyze your traits, abilities, and factors of motivation and demotivation, so you can choose the time-friendship tools that will fit you. You’ll learn how to plan your day to complete all tasks as productively as possible, get rid of time-eaters, and understand which optimization secrets work for different professions.
