Oh, how I wish I'd had this book 10 years ago! Cate gives both the sympathetic hug and the firm shake by the shoulders that so many of us need to navigate the world of work right now. It's hilarious and helpful with so many on-point insights that you'll wonder if she's been reading your Slack messages (she hasn't)

—— Sarah Ellis, author of the Sunday Times bestselling book The Squiggly Career

The core teaching of Ideaflow of getting out into the real world, quickly is the antithesis to my training as an MBA but I've since become obsessed with the art of experimenting, iterating, asking, and listening in order to build a massively impactful company that is unique in the marketplace. Founders shouldn't miss this book.

A penetrating, provocative investigation into the subject of time - how to understand and live with it - on both an individual and societal level ... impressive

Temporal structure has its comforts, particularly following a tumultuous three years ... That yo-you effect [of the last few years] drew me to Saving Time, Jenny Odell's sharp book tracing the cultural forces that shape our conception of time

Odell fights to provide us with an alternative way to experience the time we have
