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.

In her recent book, The PLAN, Adachi advocates for an integrative approach to time management. 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. She worries that women— especially those who are mothers—are striving to implement strategies and achieve goals that aren’t built for them, for their bodies, their minds, or their work within their families.
