About this listen

"An empowering manifesto for those ready to break free from burnout and redefine what it means to thrive." —Vanity Fair (UK)

Are you stuck in an exhausting struggle for balance between work, family life, fitness, friendships, and mental health? It's time to live life smarter, not harder. In Smarter, entrepreneur and recovering productivity addict Emily Austen releases you from the myth that over-productivity equals success, with a life-changing system for getting the right things done—instead of trying to do them all. With the ten pillars of the Smarter Method, you'll learn how to:

  • Track your energy, not your time
  • Forget the 5 a.m. club, and join the 8 a.m. club
  • Switch from multitasking to monotasking
  • Perform a Busyness Detox
  • Create your Daily Dos
Smarter is a system that harnesses how your brain actually works to get more out of your time. By identifying and embracing your talents, creating consistency, and naming what you really want "to do," you can live your life fully, while achieving your most ambitious goals.

What the critics say

"Smarter is the productivity guide that every woman needs."—Roxie Nafousi, bestselling author of Manifest
"Smarter is the book that every budding entrepreneur, woman and soul should have."—Metro UK
"In a post-#Girlboss world, Emily Austen manages to cut through clichés to offer women a sharp, fresh and engaging guide to having it all. Without condescension, she speaks to women in a way that feels simultaneously motivational and reassuring, using her extensive experience to encourage others in a positive, uplifting way. For those exhausted and disappointed by the endless Instagram mantras, empty hashtags and patronizing tropes which are consistently used to discuss women in the work environment, this is the perfect antidote."—Grazia UK
"A new, practical guide and empowering manifesto for those ready to break free from burnout and redefine what it means to thrive... This book will be your blueprint for leveraging your strengths, boosting your productivity, and achieving lasting success on your own terms." —Vanity Fair (UK)
