The American workforce is burned out. We are constantly checking email before bed and always worried about getting work done. Creativity and innovation wither before the false god of busyness, and family time is constantly corrupted by the siren call of our smart phones. We’re all running at an insane pace and the solution doesn’t involve 4:00 a.m. alarms or drinking gritty green shakes instead of actual food. We also don’t need more productivity advice that turns our lives into a game of unwinnable Tetris. What we’re lacking is an essential missing element—“WhiteSpace”—that when inserted back into our days, changes the very nature of work. WhiteSpace is the open time, the stepping back, the strategic pause; it’s the oxygen that allows our efforts to catch fire. It gives us room to innovate, to strategize, to reflect, to recuperate, and, to think. Using research and client stories, Funt will show readers how to reinvent their busy lives and add creativity and zen back into their lives.
