Reading of Jack Welch's window time, I am reminded of similar reflectory modes that I go into. The wedge concept of book-ended time reminds me of a friend using the microwave time of coffee heating up to do a stretch or a walk.
Thieves of productivity
Useful hacks.

This is one book I'd love my extroverted friends to read, lol. My fellow introverts understand the power of quiet without having to explain it; I'm learning the power of articulating "just give me a sec to think," especially on calls (video or otherwise), to alert folks that activity is occurring, even if it can't be observed.

It's particularly good paired alongside another recent read of mine, Erica Dhawan's 'Digital Body Language: How to Build Trust and Connection, No Matter the Distance.' I feel especially well equipped, both at work and at home, to incorporate white space and advocate for its effectiveness. In a (especially business) world where decisions are often made by the loudest voices, whether or not they're the right ones, reads such as this one help us quieter ones to speak up and get results in our own way. Same destination, different path, and both have their perks.

I received an eARC of the book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
