"A spiritually generous, deliciously well-researched, irreverently anti-capitalist manifesto for anyone compelled to create in an age of consumption."--Rachel Lyon, author of Fruit of the Dead and Self-Portrait with Boy

Your life is more than a project to be managed

We are constantly fed the line that the way to greater satisfaction and meaning in life is being more productive with our time. But what if all the gold stars and checkboxes are actually distracting us from the very thing we are chasing? What would life look like if we acted from our being instead of merely doing?

If you long for a life full of meaning, creativity, and joy--a life where you don't feel pressured, rushed, or lacking in some way--Making Time is for you. This book isn't about life hacks to control your schedule in order to cram in more work. It's about liberating yourself from the myth that humans are producers and discovering the freedom of being a maker who trusts life as a creative process. In this bold, revitalizing call back to human being, you'll learn how to

- let go of the constant pressure to do more
- find deep meaning in how you spend your time and energy
- resist external noise and reconnect with your inner creative spark
- find creative fulfillment as you make what you truly desire

You don't need to do more or try harder. It just takes a new, transformative vision for how to live from your values every day.
