Free Time with Jenny Blake Top 10 Free Time Principles {BEST OF}
Just a few days after launch, Free Time topped many Amazon charts! Although "making the lists" is not something I lose sleep over, it does go a long way toward raising awareness and generating lasting launch momentum. Here are some early category stats—I couldn't do any of this without you!
- #1 New Release in Time Management
- #1 New Release in Small Business
- #1 New Release Organizational Change
- #1 New Release Business Structural Adjustment
Enormous thanks to all of you who have read the book and posted reviews on Amazon and Goodreads already! Every one has warmed my heart. ❤️

🎁 We're bringing back BOGOGO! Give the gift of free time to yourself and others in the new year by participating in our Buy One, Get One, Give One bonus—back for a limited time. Here's how it works:
- Buy One: Order the hardcover edition and submit proof of purchase at http://itsfreetime.com/bogogo
- Get One: Within one business day, you'll get audiobook access via private feed and the Free Time Toolkit
- Give One: You will get details on how to gift audiobook access to a friend :)
⭐️ Key Takeaways:
- Make a list of how you’re spending your time for a week. If you see repeated tasks — those are prime candidates for automation.
- Notice the mortifying moments in your business. We all have them, and as uncomfortable as they are, they are great chances to fix our systems.
- Are your processes and systems ready for a big break? If Oprah came out of retirement and wanted to talk to you tomorrow — could you meet the increase in demand that would ensue?
💌 Permission: Relinquish your role as all-seeing question answerer. Let someone else answer the questions (and maybe your email!) — you are juggling way too much to remember all of the little things.
✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next: Double it! Double how much you delegate. What is your comfort zone for allowing other people to take things over? Stretch it to accommodate more.
