Book description
Imagine your calendar is a frantic game of whack-a-mole, and your brain is running on fumes by 3 p.m. You're not alone. In A Minute to Think, Juliet Funt doesn't just name the burnout epidemic-she hands you the toolkit to breathe again. And listening to this audiobook? It's like a gentle, professional intervention for your overworked mind.
Funt, a true architect of calm in chaos, cuts through the noise with a simple, radical idea: we need white space. Not more hours, but intentional pauses-those tiny, unscheduled minutes where creativity sparks and clarity blooms. Seth Godin nailed it: this book's wisdom is "priceless." But why does the audiobook format make it even more powerful? Because Funt's voice guides you through practical steps while you're navigating your own busy day. You'll hear her relatable stories-like the team that reclaimed focus by blocking "thinking time" in calendars-and immediately feel equipped to try it.
No jargon, no guilt-tripping. Funt explains how to tame email avalanches, escape meeting purgatory, and design work rhythms that honor your energy, not just your inbox. She doesn't demand you "do more"-she shows you how to stop doing the wrong things so you can do what matters. You'll laugh at her "county fair workforce" metaphor (yes, we're that fried) and nod along as she reveals that "3 a.m. insomnia is the only unscheduled thinking time left."
What makes this audiobook special? It's not just advice-it's a permission slip. Funt's calm, authoritative voice (think a trusted colleague, not a lecture) makes the "how" feel doable. You'll hear her suggest tiny actions: closing your email for 15 minutes, scheduling a "thinking walk," or saying "I need space to think" to your team. These aren't lofty ideals-they're concrete, tested strategies. And because it's audio, you can listen while walking, cooking, or even during your next meeting (yes, she'd approve).
Post-pandemic, we're drowning in low-value tasks and reactive work. Funt's message is urgent: without white space, our best ideas suffocate. This audiobook doesn't just describe the solution-it gives you the moment to start. You'll finish listening feeling less frantic, more in control, and finally ready to reclaim your own minute. It's not about adding more to your plate. It's about making room for what only comes when you stop rushing. And honestly? After hearing Funt's voice cut through the static, you'll want to share it with everyone you know-then take that precious minute to think.
