As a teacher I feel I’m always blurring work/ life and overworking which is why I chose this book. Although it’s mainly geared towards office workers, there were many tips and ideas I could use and adapt to really change the way I view work. I found myself agreeing with many of the scenarios described and gave actively taken things from this book that I believe will transform my approach to work. It was also written in a very engaging abs relatable way that made me fly through this book in just one evening. Give it a try- I’d be surprised if you don’t find at least one takeaway.

Reclaim Your Time Off by Fab Giovanetti

This book came at just the right time for me. I have a very busy job as a childcare solicitor, which throughout the pandemic has been done working from home. Even my Court Hearings are conducted via Microsoft Teams.

There are times when my role is overwhelming and stressful and today, I needed to refocus and reclaim my own rules around my work. It’s Easter weekend and I found myself needing to log on and get on top of my tasks and commitments.

All too often I finish my working day late, even 8-10 hours is not enough to work through my tasks and for me to feel that I have achieved and had a productive day.

This book was incredibly insightful. In parts I felt like I was reading about my own working day and it was refreshing to understand the impact of ‘time dysmorphia’ upon my day. I am all too guilty of assuming that I can achieve more than I sometimes do and this leaves me disheartened.

I read this book in a day and I completely intend to read this again and complete some of the tasks and journal tasks and apply this to my own circumstances and reclaim my time.

Thank you Fab, for putting out such a focussed and relatable publication. I thoroughly enjoyed this and will be recommending to friends and colleagues! This is absolutely a must read for everyone and should be compulsory reading!!

I will be posting on my Instagram and goodreads once I have drafted the insta post and around publication day and I will update this with a link at that point.

Do you struggle to keep your work and personal lives separate? Do you want to be more productive in less time at work? Has working remotely been a struggle for you - whether as an employee or manager? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need to read this book! There is something for everyone, even those who already focus a lot on self-improvement, routines, etc.

I really liked all the useful tips I can directly (and easily apply). The book was very straight-forward but was fun and engaging to read. For such a quick read, this book can make a HUGE impact on your life!

An interesting read with some great tips for time management.

Easy to understand with examples and actions to takeaway.
