The twenty-first century workplace compels Americans to be more
flexible. To embrace change, work with unpredictable schedules, be
available 24/7, and take charge of one's own career. What are the
wider implications of these pressures for workers' lives? How do
they conceive of good work and a good life amid such incessant
change? In The Disrupted Workplace, Benjamin Snyder examines how
three groups of American workers-financial professionals, truck
drivers, and unemployed job seekers-construct moral order in a
capitalist system that demands flexibility. Based on seventy
in-depth interviews and three years of participant observation, he
argues that the flexible economy transforms how workers experience
time. New scheduling techniques, employment strategies, and
technologies disrupt the flow and trajectory of working life, which
makes the workplace a site of perplexing moral dilemmas. Work can
feel both liberating and terrorizing, engrossing in the short term
but unsustainable in the long term. Through a vivid portrait of
real workers' struggles to adapt their lives to constant
disruption, Benjamin Snyder mounts a compelling critique of the
costs of the flexible economy.

As you will discover in these pages that I begin testing the idea
of waking up at 4:00 A.M. out of desperation and frustration, I
never expect to find two full hours of focus and concentration. In
my experience (guess what I used to do too) this is what people do:
Wake up Running, Run to Work, Run at Work, Run to Home, Deal with
Family Routines, Hope Family goes to bed, Work on your most
important stuff." We have done it for generations, and it is wrong.
We should: "Work on your most important stuff so we don't need to
run to work, at work, to home and instead of dealing with family,
enjoying family" When you think about it makes sense to do your
most important stuff first, but for some reason we do it last. To
accomplish that, you need to switch your pattern, I did it, and the
experience was fantastic. Think about the following: When was the
last time you got two hours of Focus Work? (My answer is this
morning, at 4:00 A.M.)

Bill's Im-Perfect Time Management Adventure begins with an
anonymous email - it warns Bill, an engineer at Syscon, that he's
on a list of project managers at risk of layoff. A conversation
with his boss confirms his fears - his poor time management skills
threaten his financial security and his family's well-being. To
escape failure, he must improve dramatically, and fast. In quick
succession, he tries several prescriptions for better time
management - a new smartphone, a popular book and a
colleague-turned-coach. None yield the results his management team
wants, and he sinks deeper into panic. To make matters worse,
Syscon temporarily transfers him to another company: a cost-saving
move that the company has used in the past a precursor for
permanent separation. Backed against the wall, Bill finds space to
think, and he discovers the need for every working professional to
develop an individual time management system. He tests his ideas on
himself before speaking up to his colleagues-on-loan. Brewed in the
company's culture and supported by an open-minded executive and an
eccentric time management researcher, Bill's ideas start to bear
fruit. He and his new colleagues realize that they already have
time management systems in place; asking working professionals to
implement new systems without taking their original habits,
practices and rituals into account just doesn't make sense. With
his colleagues' help, he visualizes the group of core skills that
people already use unconsciously to manage their time as seven
"ladders" that people can climb in order to improve dramatically in
a short time. His good luck runs out, however, when Syscon calls
him back. Though his future unnerves him, he returns with a
commitment to apply his new approach to help turn the company's
chronic problem of low productivity around. When he arrives, he
must lead a sub-par team, and the pressure to keep his own job
rises as he struggles to save theirs. To make matters worse, his
colleague-turned-coach now sees him as a threat to his own upward
mobility at Syscon. To survive the test of attrition, Bill must
boost his whole team's productivity, and his new method offers the
only chance. "Finally An engaging story about time management with
flesh-and-blood characters. Bill's Im-Perfect Time Management
Adventure reads like a suspense novel. You'll hardly know that
you're learning the most organic and flexible system for managing
your time that exists." - Judith Kolberg, author Getting Organized
in the Era of Endless: What To Do When Information, Interruptions
and Work is Endless and Time is Not "Francis is unique because he
has not only come up with a good time management system for
himself, but he has then gone on to dissect what works and then
present it to the world in a format other people can directly apply
without any prior knowledge." - Yaro Starak,
Entrepreneurs-Journey.com "Substantial productivity tips packed up
and rolled into a superb novel." - Leon Ho, founder of Lifehack
CEOs normally stay on top of the organizations, where the most
Urgency and Important matters collected altogether. Some even work
on Urgent matters etc, before the Important one and think that
those could not be avoided. On the contrary, if Important is really
more important than Urgent, so CEOs must work more on important
items and eliminate the Urgency. He or she could be a better CEO,
since only doing Important things. How do we eliminate the Urgency?
