A great book to get you started on a more natural way to plan the schedule of your life
13 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback
There are many books about organizing and finding extra time out there. What makes this workbook special is Fitzgerald's beautiful organic method of aligning your goals and projects with the energies of the seasons and the natural world. She argues that you can ultimately be more productive and more happy by using some simple lifestyle changes to enhance your work/life efforts. Rising with the sun, sleeping in the dark and starting projects with the new moon are just the beginning of the many ideas Fitzgerald offers on the way to building a healthy balanced life.
This book is part informative, part instructive and part inspirational. Attitudes about time can be so harmful. Being labeled a procrastinator, or being known as the late one can be hard to shake. Fitzgerald takes a historical look at where these attitudes originated and provides great exercises to help unearth and recover from them. Fitzgerald also manages to explain through references to scientific studies and history where units of time like the month have come from and why time does seem like it is going faster all the time.
Then there are some gems of exercises in here: the dream schedule exercise is extremely helpful in understanding weekly priorities and it is fun to do. Another extremely useful exercise has the reader attach things they might want to do like exercise or pray to event time rather than to the clock. But honestly the juiciest parts of the book for me are the chapters she dedicates to the seasons. Here the pleasures of reading about spring, summer, autumn and winter and finding ways to use what is naturally happening in the world as a kind of guide to how to plan your creative efforts are the most easy for me to "get" and the most poetic too.
If you are hurried all the time and find that you can't believe it is summer or winter holidays already, this book will help you savor and embrace the natural rhythm of your life.

Slow Time is a Good Time!
21 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback
I feel that Slow Time is changing my life, because I was very taken with artificial time:calendars, planners, clocks and watches) and now I am understanding the value of Slow Time and the natural rhythm of nature. Waverly Fitzgerald offers us many ways and techniques to get back in touch with nature and natural rhythms so that we can relax and get back to the waythings should be. No matter where you live, you can reap the benefits from this amazing book.It's a great way to learn once again how to be in tune and reconnect with yourself.

How to Slow Down and Really Savor Your Life
21 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback
I bought this book because I am a big fan of Waverly Fitzgerald's website (livinginseason.com). So I wasn't at all surprised when I really resonated with her writing style and with the content of this book. If you have ever longed to really slow down and savor the passing moments without the bustle and frenzy of modern day culture/society... you will love this book, maybe even as much as I did!
