Book Description

May 15, 2012
One of the biggest excuses for not creating the change we want is that we are convinced we just don’t have the time. We’re already on overload. How can we possibly fit one more thing in? We’re convinced we have not a moment to do those things we have to do, much less what we yearn most to. It Takes An Egg Timer, a Guide to Creating the Time for Your Life intends to prove that excuse wrong. You do have enough time-for everything you have to do and want to, and then some. It’s just a question of what you are letting get in the way. This is not your typical book on time management. It is part guide and part manifesto. It offers uncomplicated solutions that start with a very simple tool, the egg timer. It is written not just for the self-employed and entrepreneurs struggling to keep themselves on task, productive and happy but also for those who simply dream about making a change in their life, big or small, and are convinced that what is stopping them is not enough time. Informative and entertaining, It Takes An Egg Timer will inspire and motivate you to examine how you use and misuse your time. At the end you will no longer ask yourself whether you have the time to do what you want, but what you will do with it now that you’ve found it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Unstuck and Get Going with It Takes An Egg Timer October 29, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I've been a fan of using the egg timer with social media for years. It's how I socialize and meet new people without losing half my day to "messing around" online, which is very fun and easy to do! Joanne wisely applies her years of professional experience to expand this concept into tackling the most daunting of projects that need to happen.

Her style is simple, direct, and very empowering. You can read this through in an afternoon and then get started with your hot project!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Core Ideas, but very thin. February 13, 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
It actually did help me to try starting big tasks by just setting aside a non-threatening 25 minutes. But, trying to make a lot of ritual out of that just seems silly -- unless you are really into ritual.

Joanne Tombrakos has written a wonderful book, full of useful tips for using our time more efficiently, both in our personal and work life. Her suggestions are priceless, spot on, and helpful. One of her tricks? To use a simple egg timer. Who doesn't want to waste less time, spend more time with family, and create whatever is next for us. I'm sold, and would strongly recommend "It Takes An Egg Timer: A Guide to Creating the Time for Your Life" in a heartbeat.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've just had the most productive week of my life! June 26, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is amazing. I've heard the "use an egg timer" thing before, but somehow I needed this book to put it into use. I used the timer on my phone, but no, our cute orange kitchen egg timer is far superior.

Let me share this: I have ADD. I take gobs of fish oil and fancy vitamins just to keep myself sitting on a chair. THIS book helped me accomplish a lot of things that I've been meaning to accomplish, and to create a structure to monitor and complete several long-term projects, and to actually have the confidence that I CAN complete them. It's amazing. I'm so thrilled with this book, and with my own productivity. This book is amazing!
