I work 8 hours a day, but some times we do nothing all day so I will watch movies, videos, play games, and other stuff on my phone all day, and I usualy have to recharge at lunch. The next 3 days after I got this were like that and It was finaly dead at lunch the third day. I did not turn off the phone, recharge it or use powersaving mode. This is the best purchase I have made In the past 7 months. I highly recomend this to anyone who uses there phone enought to carry aroud a charger with it.

Anyone working in an office environment knows why an item like this is necessary. I work in the utility/construction sector and my days often become very....frustrating to say the least!  We have all been having fun with this and I think my crews enjoy it more than I do!!!

I rate this book 5 stars, because of all the things that are mention in this book are so true. I have been so busy with my work life and being busy try to make my husband HAPPY but never have that time to spend with my God....but there is that time when I drive to work I really put all other things aside and really thank God for what he has done for me. I hope that count. Really need to spend more time with God.

Surprisingly, this book, called Quitter, is not about quitting.  It is actually about making the most of where you are at.  Often, when going after a dream job, our day job can be good security for us while we prepare to take a big step towards our goals and passions.  One of the best points that Acuff makes in this book comes in the chapter, "Removing the 'I'm' From Your 'But.'"  An I'm/But example is, "I'm an accountant, but I wanted to be a novelist."  It seems like there are a lot of people these days that, when describing what they do for a living, feel like they need to clarify what they actually wished they were doing for a job.  I, myself, have fallen into this trap as well, and it is bad to do because we are ignoring the good that can come from where we are at.  Looking back at past jobs, I can see how God had me there for reason, preparing me for what was coming up next.  Chapter 7 was about hustling to make your dreams come true, and I particularly appreciated Acuff's assessment of the time we have available to us.  We often complain that we don't have enough time to accomplish our dreams, however we have no problem spending hours a week watching TV.  By differentiating between things we love to do and things we like to do, Acuff asserts that we can start to close the gap between our day job and our dream job by eliminating things that we simply like.  Even if they are not bad things in nature, it may be bad for our dreams to give them a place in our lives.

This book has been very helpful in having me schedule more deep work time at my job. I'm still a work in progress though, but this is helping me get there.

Very helpful book for managers and employees to understand where the time goes during the course of a workday. It's easy to underestimate the time that gets wasted in interruptions and stops and starts. The Time Bandit Solution addresses all the issues that lead to job burn out when employees are trying to keep up with an increased workload. I'd recommend this book for anyone who wants to really address time management and increase their productivity. (Received a copy of this book for review.)

This book gave some great tips on how to turn procrastination into productivity. Basically, I used to have a tough time getting work done around our household while I had to work to do too at the shop. Im a stay-at-home dad who picks up my kids, fixes up the house errands. Besides that,  I look after our new bicycle shop down the street. My wife is the corporate businesswoman, and we both have no problem with that.

I wanted to run a shop all because my friend gave me this good idea. He had a thing for bikes and other gears, and I had the sales experience. We took a few months to set the whole business up. Then we opened in the summer. But there was a point when things started going downhill. There was little sale in our shop for the first few months, to the point where we were losing income more than earning it. It wasn't the kind of outcome I was hoping for. We didn't have a decent sale in 2 months. We made a couple of sales, no doubt about it, but it wasn't enough to compensate the business we were running.

I lost hope for a while. I started to have really bad time management skills when all I could do was worry. I started running away from the things I needed to do at the shop. I even started to miss picking up my kids at school or going home before six to fix up a nice family dinner. I didn't know where  my focus was going. Instead of working on the shop and thinking of new plans for business, I skipped work and stayed at home instead. So I was looking around for ideas online when stumbled on this book. It provided me with totally fresh views about how to take charge of my goals. I phoned an old friend who did advertising. He knew his way around town and he knew which people to call. We spoke to a couple of connections and the rest was history. We just needed great advertising.

The book made me realize that success can still be met no matter what. We all have the power, and we shouldnt let fear of failure or anything else stop us from grabbing hold of that. It reminded me of what was important. The tips on the power of your mind and body also helped. I take time to think of my goals for the week, month and the year. It wasn't long after coordinating with the right guys that our bike shop started getting a little more revenue. Weve even gotten reservations on parts and a lot of imported bicycle brands. Its been going uphill since then.
Again, good read. I recommend it to any person dealing with the problem of procrastination. The writer provides very straight to the point details, including scientific facts. Get your copy today! You will certainly turn your procrastination into productivity.

This helps me understand why employees are sometimes slow to keep up with change.  Sometimes it's the change that's forced upon us, and sometimes it's encouraging everyone to "get on board" with the changes we need to make to stay relevant as a business.  Well worth the money and the time spent reading it.

Thank you Chris for writing on such an important and under-appreciated topic, Happiness at work.  Im pretty sure everyone can relate to this story! If you've ever had a horrible job, horrible boss or horrible co-worker you should check this book out.
I loved how you took this idea of "being happy at work" and presented in a way that no longer seemed like a far-away dream, but rather as a necessity in today's world, and not just because you think people deserve to be happy but because businesses could actually profit from a happier workplace!
It was eye-opening and frightening to see how "unhappiness at work" affects much more than one's work, it affects everything, home life, relationships, everything. Our jobs take up so much of our time and energy and the fact that so many people are forced to sacrifice happiness for their job is just unfortunate.
Now I have a perfect Christmas gift for the boss. Ha.
Fantastic Job!

We (group of secretary's)work in a school and let me tell you that this book has helped us to understand the importance of an assistant.  How we are the leading role of our bosses, we need to be well informed about everything around us and our bosses so that business can run smoothly and not look bad when someone ask something and not have the correct answer.  The book has become our inseparable partner, it helps us in everything we do.

Really happy with this purchase. We have a lot of down time at work sometimes and decided sitting around all night just wasn't enough. These bands are easy to carry and put together and work great for some exercise in the small space we work in.

Love having a timer at work to flip when I'm out on my breaks so people know when to expect me back. In addition, it's a fun little decoration on my desk when not being utilized for it's time keeping functions!

Some of the projects don't seem like 30 minute tasks to me...maybe if I do them a ton of times and streamline my processes, but not straight out of the gate.
