We are living longer than ever and, thanks to technology, we are able to accomplish so much more. So why do we feel time poor? In 20 eye-opening lessons, Catherine Blyth combines cutting-edge science and psychology to show why time runs away from you, then provides the tools to get it back.  Learn why the clock speeds up just when you wish it would go slow, how your tempo can be manipulated and why we all misuse and miscalculate time. But you can beat the time thieves. Reset your body clock, refurbish your routine, harness momentum and slow down. Not only will time be more enjoyable, but you really will get more done.

If this is the first productivity book you've ever read, you'd probably give it 4 or 5 stars.
I've read several such books and I didn't find anything new in this one.
Practical tips are spread out between long narratives and discussions of the basic problem we all know about.
I would have preferred more practical advice and less philosophizing.

'Enjoy Time: Stop rushing. Get more done' by Catherine Blyth is an ebook about time management.

In a series of 5 chapters, 20 lessons are given on better ways to think about time. Interspersed with creative graphics there are chapters based on not chasing the clock and how time changes speed. Each chapter includes a toolkit and links and books for further learning.

The bite-size chapters make this an easy book to pick up for inspiration, even if the content is hardly new.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - White Lion Publishing, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

I'll be honest, The illustrations take more away than they add. The word choices are difficult to digest and the 2 column magazine format and small text is difficult to read. The information could be great, but as much as books go this is just a hardcover magazine article about time.

Feeling like a hamster on the well most of the time, without any chance to see better, quality-driven ways to spend your time? If instead of running and running through time with anything else left to do you might stop for a while and decide to dramatically switch towards a more enjoyable life time, the perspective might switch too. Enjoy Time: Stop rushing. Be more productive offers solutions for both private and professional life, for a completely and quality-oriented daily timeplan. The book has many examples and suggestions, theoretical insights and a rich bibliography that can help or at least to offer a different perspective from the other side of the hamster well.
Recommended to both workaholics and slow life humans, interested in changing a bit their approach to their time life.

I bought a hardcover book during one of my travels last year—a time when I was feeling burnt out from work. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to read it until this year, which makes me wonder if I would have gone through life with a different, healthier perspective had I read it sooner.

I would rate this book 10/5 stars. It’s unusual for me to be this generous, as I tend to be more conservative when it comes to rating books. However, it’s so rare to find a book with such ingenious ideas, written in such impeccable language.

Perhaps the tactile experience—the hardcover, the weighty pages, the thought-provoking graphics—enhanced the sensory experience of reading it as well.

Overall, I’m incredibly grateful for choosing this book at the bookstore. It serves as a timely reminder of how to truly enjoy life—in other words, to Enjoy Time. Because time isn’t money. Time is your life.

This book contains lots of positive advice and feedback that some would claim to come off as “obvious;” however, despite most of the tools being simple and easy, actually applying it to your life is a lot harder than it seems. At the end of the book there is a HUGE Bibliography list, and tons of recommendations from the author herself of books she suggests the reader to read as an expansion of learning about time management, and the subjects that tie themselves into that topic. It’s a very simple, and superrr fast read!!

[Phu · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is full of intriguing ideas about time - the most interesting invention ever. We use our time, want to save and control them. Sometimes time pressures us, and somehow we started a self-defeating game in which the more we play the less time and joy we have.
With insightful assertions and good researches, the book challenges some habitual occurring and reveals how we can live intentionally and seize its riches.

[Jeffrey Ning · Rating 5 out of 5]

Productivity and psychology fans find gems within the book that makes you sit upright and digest every word on the pages. They emit valuable information and illicit further research on your part.

Otherwise, the book’s format is brilliant to succinctly provide you the toolkits to spring you into actions. Simply enlightening!

[MaskedSanity­ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ironically, it took my a very long time to finish this book. I started it in early 2025 and never made the time to finish it. So, I re-started it at the beginning of 2026 and this time I actually put the lessons to the test.
I found this book to be very interesting and useful. I can see myself revisiting it in the future.

Great read for heavy procrastinator like me. First read of 2022, and we’re off to a good start. From mindfulness to dream listing.

The toolkit within the chapters of the book is an interesting way of writing a self-help book, because guess what, it does actually help.

[Liz Z · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not relatable, relentlessly and continuously shows an outdated perspective but there are some good nuggets if you dig deep and are just starting out.

[Laura Duffy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the perfect book for those who want to live in the moment and make more efficient use of your time and be all together more productive. There are 20 indivisual lessons contained in the book which allow you to build upon existing skills and further enhance them and all you to enjoy your time and not be constantly juggling commitments and never stopping to enjoy things.

[joyce w. laudon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Do you enjoy time or is time ruling you? Are you always rushing but never finishing all you need to do? Does free time make you anxious because of a need to always be productive? Are you able to step away from your devices? The questions could go on and on and there are many good ones.

In this book the author helps the reader to slow down, to think about time, about family, about friends, about work and other things that we each find meaningful. Through text and helpful suggestions, readers will come away with a sense that their lives could be so much better when they are aware and perhaps more highly value their time.

In this reviewer's opinion, you should take the time to read this book!
