Reclaiming Time: Why Women Should Challenge the Productivity Industry

Reclaiming Time: Why Women Should Challenge the Productivity Industry

Ninety-three percent of time management books were written by men. This is a problem, says self-improvement guru, Kendra Adachi.

While most (male) productivity writers view time as something to be controlled or mastered, Adachi views time differently. She recommends the pursuit of integration—of our intellect, emotions, and bodily cues—over measurable results.

Are you juggling multiple responsibilities inside and outside of work? Struggling to find the perfect balance? It’s time to rethink how we approach it.

The traditional concept of work-life balance often falls short because:
 It implies that work and life are entirely separate, and
