A business fable for anyone feeling overwhelmed, underpaid, and frustrated in their job

From the author of The Myth of Multitasking comes Invaluable, a business fable that empowers the frustrated and overworked to understand the value of their time. At the fictitious company GreenGarb, twenty-something Jason is discontent in his entry-level position, feeling his skills and knowledge are being underutilized; mid-level manager Tracy is overwhelmed by her own workload and needy direct reports; and CEO Helen needs them to sort it out productively. Jason's grandfather Charlie plants the seed of a new perspective in Jason mind: before he can get a raise, he must prove he deserves the raise. He must establish the value of his time, rather than expecting to be paid what he thinks he is worth. Time management consultant Phil helps them determine how they spend their time, and what it costs, with easy-to-follow worksheets that map what their actions and time are worth.

Offers solid advice for determining just how "invaluable" you are to your boss and customers
Shows how to create a productive framework of cooperation in the workplace
Includes an appendix of worksheets and examples that offer concrete tools that can be applied immediately

The Myth of Multitasking taught readers how to take control of their time. Invaluable shows readers how to increase the value of the time they do spend working.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

Invaluable empowers the frustrated and overworked to understand what their time is worth and how they can, quite literally, spend it more profitably.

An engaging business fable, Invaluable tells the story of Jason, who is discontent in his entry-level position, feeling his skills and knowledge are underutilized; his manager, Tracy, who is overwhelmed by her own workload and seemingly needy direct reports; and their CEO, Helen, who needs them to sort it out productively. From an unexpected source, Jason learns a hard but invaluable lesson: before he can get a raise, he must prove his real dollar value, rather than expect to be paid what he thinks he is worth. Though at very different stages in their careers, Jason, Tracy, and Helen each learn how to determine the value of their time and actions, the best ways to spend their own time, and how to empower their colleagues to do the same.

With easy-to-use assessments and worksheets and ready-to-implement advice, Invaluable will help you:

Determine exactly how "invaluable" you are to your boss and customers
Discover your "Most Valuable Activities" and how to focus on them
Create a framework of cooperation in the workplace
Design systems and processes for maximum productivity
Develop strategies to increase job security and income

In The Myth of Multitasking, Dave Crenshaw showed you how to gain more time, making you more present in both work and life. Invaluable will now show you how to maximize the very real dollar value of each working hour.

When I purchased this book, I originally thought it was a how-to guide. I was pleasantly surprised to find that although it is, it's written in the form of a story which makes it more relatable and simple to follow. It comes with some great resources as well that you can use to find and improve your invaluable skills and get the most out of your work time.

Even More Than I Expected - and I Expected a Great Deal from Dave Crenshaw

I am writing this review and haven't even finished the book yet. I am on Amazon to order additional copies and they will be shipped immediately so that I can begin giving them to the people who work with me and to people in upcoming workshops.

Dave Crenshaw's first book, The Myth of Multitasking, was SUPER and this book is even better. I can feel my thinking shifting and am amazed at his ability to bring some seemingly simple concepts (that VERY few of us follow) into sharp focus. This is a must-read, must-share book regardless of whether you are an entrepreneur, employer, employee, or looking for work.

I'll finish the book tomorrow and may have to write another review. I'll certainly be getting the word out about this book. THANK YOU, Dave.

We all think that we can do more than one thing at a time, however there is a cost to that that isn't apparent until I read this book. I recommend it to EVERYONE.

Dave hits it out of the park again!

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2010

I'm already a big fan of Dave Crenshaw from his book The Myth of Multitasking and his "invaluable" Get Time BootCamp.

In this book, Dave has taken the concept of personal productivity to a whole new level that will really have you thinking about not only getting things done, but also to question whether or not you are working on your most valuable activities (MVA's). This is a very quick read (~2-3 hours), but the time is very well spent and doesn't just stop at the end of the book like a lot of others out there.

I highly recommend this book for anyone that is looking to be more than just another part of the organization that they run or work in. Great work Dave!
