Welcome back to the Everything Ebook series!
Today I’m reviewing Amy Lynn Andrew’s “Tell Your Time”
This ebook is in it’s 2nd revised edition & is at a fantastic price point: $2.99
Yes- TWO dollars and ninety-nine cents. When she says it’s for ‘less than the price of a fancy cup of coffee’ she’s not kidding!
For that price you get 30 pages, 3 printable templates & loads of practical advice.
I spent the weekend going through the book again (I had bought the 1st edition previously so I wanted to read the 2nd edition for this review) and filling out the templates for my schedule.
In general I think this is a helpful book for people who have a hard time managing time (and even those who don’t). Amy first walks you through figuring out your ‘roles’ in life & the activities for each role. Then you prioritize them and place them into categories.
The categories part was what really helped me: negotiable, non-negotiable, flexible & non-flexible times. This really opened my eyes that the items that I *had* to do and were at set times should be what I fill my calendar with first then work everything else around it. This is the part where “Tell Your Time” differs from other time management books. It has you list all of your activities but place them on a grid that separates them by if they are a flexible time or not and then also by negotiable or not-this helps you to see that while your yoga class is something you love to do that there might be other things you need to do first. So yoga could go in non-flexible (because you can’t change the time of yoga class) but negotiable (because you could choose to not go and do something else if need be).
I’ve used my new schedule for a week and while I didn’t quite stick to it because I had some emergency dental work, for the most part it was awesome! I got most of what I wanted & had to do done each day.
I think that this ebook is a quick, easy read with plenty of actionable items in it and for the price it is un-beatable!

Facebook & not getting enough rest tend to be my biggest hurdles.
My biggest problem is attention. I am easily distracted and have many half done projects.
Social media — gets me every time!
