About this listen

If someone stole your wallet, you'd notice it. So why don't people notice when they are robbed of something much more valuable than their wallet - time?

Today's workers are drowning: nonstop requests for time, days filled to the brim with meetings, and endless nights spent heroically fixing the latest problems. This churn and burn is creating a workforce constantly on the edge of burnout.

In this timely book, IT time management expert Dominica DeGrandis reveals the real crime of the century - time theft, one of the most costly factors impacting enterprises in their day-to-day operations.

Through simple solutions that make work visible, DeGrandis helps people round up the five thieves of time and take back their lives with time-saving solutions. Chock-full of exercises, takeaways, real-world examples, and an easy-going writing style, readers will quickly learn effective practices to create high-performing workflows within an organization.

The technology world - and indeed the whole business world - is moving at a pace faster than ever before, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Instead of consigning ourselves to the pressure cooker of the modern world, it's time to elevate how we work. It's time to level up our game. It's time to make work visible.

Content is insightful but too many repetitions. Could have been presented much shorter. But useful section especially on metrics and author's opinion on organisation culture.

Good introduction to Kanban boards and other methods to reveal invisible work. I liked the approach of focussing on the ‘thieves’ of time and how to put them in the spotlight so they can be banished.
Some parts included lots of detailed ideas and things to try which in themselves would take a lot of work so we’re a bit overwhelming. But if you pick out only a few of the suggestions and try them out it would make it worth the read.

Great collection of ideas
