Book Description

February 10, 2010
So many of us are on a spiritual path-we're cultivating presence, acknowledging our interconnections, assuming responsibility for our choices, and dropping old behavior patterns. Our spiritual awakening is happening in the midst of modern America where intense time pressure permeates the atmosphere, where there's no time for planning, priorities are out of whack, people constantly interrupt, and we're always putting out fires. Staying later, working more, or moving fasterwon't solve the dilemma. How do we live authentically in such an environment? Awakening in Time helps you manage your time sustainably, infuse your life with spirit moment by moment, and contribute to your own evolution and that of the world. You shift from doing more and doing it faster to engaging fully and appropriately with life. Time management becomes a spiritual, creative adventure full of satisfaction and sovereignty for yourself, and service to the greater good of all.

Awakening In Time helps you take your life in hand, carefully and consciously, discovering new insights and trying out hands-on practices. You dig down to the root issues of Attention, Boundaries, and Choices-the ABCs of the new time management-where change has a better chance of taking hold and many of the surface problems resolve themselves. For example, getting distracted is an issue of Attention. When we learn how to maintain internal focus while responding to what's happening around us, distractions are less compelling. Feeling torn between several demands is a matter of Boundaries. Setting appropriately firm yet flexible boundaries allows us to consider demands from both the outside and the inside. Having too much to do in too little time is an issue of Choice. When we learn how to choose what serves both ourselves and the greater good, we can let go of the rest. As we practice the ABCs, we create a life of richness, complexity, satisfaction and simplicity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A guidebook for taking back our lives, April 16, 2010
By 
Jim Guinness (Marlborough, MA USA) - See all my reviews
Despite lip service to anything else, modern consensus reality would have us see ourselves as, above all, economic entities: Consumers and, as importantly, Producers. In this view it's our moral imperative to become as Efficient and Productive as possible - to fulfill our purpose as human beings by maximizing our output (of money, happiness, service, or personal satisfaction) while minimizing our costs in terms of time, energy, and money.

What's wrong with this picture? If you've ever found yourself uncomfortable thinking of yourself as a productivity machine, you'll like Pamela Kristan's book. In simple, practical, and holistic terms, it offers nothing less than a way to reclaim our own lives.

All this in a book about time management? Indeed. (For what else do we have to work with in this life, but time?) Beyond simple formulas, recipes, or bullet points, Kristan shows us how, in the process of learning to manage our time from a completely new perspective, we can re-vision our entire lives. Ms. Kristan has spent decades researching and developing these ideas in her own life and in her work with clients, and she offers the wisdom of a lifetime in this succinct and eminently readable offering.

Don't worry if you don't think of yourself as being on a spiritual path. This book is for anyone with a reflective turn of mind who wants to view their life and habits of living from a fresh perspective. If you've read this far, read Kristan's book - it's a unique, and uniquely thought-provoking, read that could change your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right in the Nick of Time!, April 15, 2010
By 
Have you ever felt like you're running on a hamster wheel and can't get off? Want a new perspective on how to stay calm in this fast-paced world? Look no further. This practical, powerful little book will help you take a deep breath, get organized, and feel more peaceful. As a small business owner who's always plugged into my phone and computer, I'm used to operating at top speed. I get a lot done. But, day to day and week to week, I also feel haunted by the stuff I've "neglected"--the daunting stacks of paper work, the To Do lists buried beneath the other To Do lists. Sometimes, I feel like I'm falling behind and won't ever quite catch up. The author's strategies and tips are sensible and can be applied to lots of situations. Her discussions of Attention, Boundaries, and Choices really helped me get a handle on my all of my loose ends, gave me insight into why I avoid doing certain things, tuned me into my unreasonable expectations of myself, and helped me gain clarity about how I want to spend my time. Slow down, sit down, give this a read. You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep, simple, and wise, April 13, 2010
I loved this book. Deep, simple, and wise. Like most people I know, I struggle with how to be engaged in the world (including e-mail!) and still live a balanced, happy, present life. Pam Kristan's book gave me both practical tools and overarching philosophy that I'm putting to use now every day
