Part 1 How To Do Nothing by Jenny Odell Summary"How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy" by Jenny Odell is a thought-provoking exploration of the idea that productivity often comes at the cost of our mental well-being, attention, and personal agency. Odell argues that in a society driven by constant connectivity and the demand for productivity, people have lost the ability to appreciate stillness, nature, and the present moment. Here are the key themes and ideas from the book:The Attention Economy: Odell critiques the modern attention economy, where social media and technology compete for our focus and time, often leading to stress and a sense of overwhelm. She argues that this environment pressures individuals to constantly produce and perform, diminishing personal joy and creativity.Rethinking Productivity: The author challenges conventional notions of productivity, arguing that doing nothing—or rather, engaging in unproductive activities like daydreaming, observing nature, or simply being present—can be critical for mental health and personal fulfillment. She emphasizes that these moments can foster creativity and provide room for reflection.Connection to Place: Odell encourages readers to cultivate a deep connection to their surroundings. She believes that being aware of and engaged with our local environments can help ground us in reality and provide a sense of community. This interaction with nature and local space can balance the frenetic pace of modern life.Activism and Resistance: The book blends personal narrative, history, and cultural criticism, suggesting that doing nothing can be a form of resistance against societal pressures and expectations. By stepping back from constant engagement, individuals can reclaim their time and attention, ultimately leading to a more intentional and meaningful life.The Importance of Community: Odell highlights the role of community in our lives, advocating for social relationships and connections as essential elements for a fulfilling life. She encourages fostering real-life connections rather than those mediated by screens.Practical Tips: Throughout the book, Odell provides practical suggestions for how individuals can incorporate more presence and stillness into their lives. This includes spending time in nature, practicing mindfulness, reflecting on personal values, and stepping back from digital distractions.In conclusion, "How to Do Nothing" is not just a guide on reducing productivity but a manifesto on reclaiming time and attention in a world that often demands constant engagement. Through self-reflection, community engagement, and a reconnection with nature, Odell advocates for a more meaningful and connected approach to life.Part 2 How To Do Nothing AuthorJenny Odell is an American author, artist, and educator renowned for her book "How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy," which was published on April 2, 2019.

From the archive, this week's episode is a conversation with author and artist Jenny Odell. Speaking about her book Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock, she challenges the social and cultural ideas that underpin standardized, mechanized time, and imagines how we might instead attune to the rhythms of the Earth and embrace interruptions that allow us to glimpse the inherent unpredictability and creativity of every moment. What choices, what futures, might become possible, she asks, if we stepped out of chronos time and towards a kairos time?

In this episode, I'll talk about the concept of Vertical Time which I first heard about in Jenny Odell's book Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock.  As she explains, there is Horizontal Time and Vertical Time. Horizontal Time is driven by the clock as we know it. It says you need to be HERE at THIS time for the world to work. It's your 9-5 workday. It's your kid's school pick-up time. It's the daily structure of time that rules our lives. But then there is Vertical Time.  Vertical Time is open. It's uncommitted. It's unscheduled. It's not driven by the typical structure of a working day. And because it's not structured, our brains are free to wander. In this episode, I'll talk about why we need vertical time as artists and how to create more of it in your life.Check out Jenny Odell's book:Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock.Get our newsletter here:https://www.amightypractice.com/newsletter

Jenny Odell (NYT bestseller, artist) wrote a bestselling book five years ago that Barack Obama declared one of his “books of the year”. “How to Do Nothing” stuck two fingers up to the productivity industry. Jenny followed it up with the recently published, “Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond The Clock” that argues the original problem is our framing of time as a bunch of units we own, spend, must be efficient with etc. In this chat, Jenny explains that how we relate to time is our choice and she – fascinatingly – shows how radically rejecting our current take on time (and the productivity bro' efficiency hacks) can help us navigate climate dread, the capitalist trap and our collective sense of disconnect.SHOW NOTESJenny's book, Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock is available nowConnect with Jenny on Instagram and keep up to date via her website--If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "about" pageFor more such conversations subscribe to my Substack newsletter, it's where I interact the most!Get your copy of my book, This One Wild and Precious LifeLet's connect on Instagram and WeAre8 Hosted on Acast.

In her first book, How to Do Nothing, artist Jenny Odell examined the power of quiet contemplation in a world where our attention is bought and sold. Now, she takes up the question of how to find space for silence when we feel like we don't have enough time to spend. In her new book, Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock (Random House, 2023), Odell traces the history behind our relationship to time, from the day-to-day pressures of productivity to the deeper existential dread underlying the climate crisis. In the process, she explores alternative ways of experiencing time that can help us get past the illusion of the separate self and instead open us to wonder and freedom. In this episode of Life As It Is, Tricycle's editor-in-chief, James Shaheen, and meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg sit down with Odell to discuss the social dimensions of time, how paying attention can unsettle the boundaries between us, why she views burnout as a spiritual issue, and how love can bring us out of linear time. Life As It Is is a monthly podcast featuring prominent voices from within and beyond the Buddhist fold. Listen to more episodes here. Tricycle: The Buddhist Review provides a unique and independent public forum for exploring Buddhism, establishing a dialogue between Buddhism and the broader culture, and introducing Buddhist thinking to Western disciplines.

In the inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy, artist and The New York Times–bestselling author Jenny Odell extolled the value of rest as resistance in a culture that always expects us to be productive. In conversation with Jess Scully she takes the discussion further and introduces her new book Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock which makes a radical argument about our concept of time and offers a hopeful antidote for anyone grappling with burnout and anxiety about the future.

How we experience time is, ultimately, how we experience our lives. In this conversation with Jenny Odell, artist and author of Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock, she describes the social and cultural ideas that underpin our sense of standardized, mechanized time, which has laid an abstract grid over the living world. What choices, what futures, might become possible, she asks, if we allowed ourselves to slip free of the grip of linear, predictable chronos time and be swept into dynamic, interruptive kairos time?

In her new book “Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock,” Jenny Odell takes a tour of the Bay Area. She begins at the Port of Oakland and travels as far as the Pacific Ocean before turning around and heading back to Mountain View Cemetery in the East Bay hills. Along the way, she also brings readers on a different kind of journey. At each location, she uses these physical spaces to illustrate different ways of thinking about time itself. Are there really 24 hours in a day? By the end of this book, you won't be so sure. I interviewed Jenny onstage at the Backroom in downtown Berkeley on April 4, 2023 in front of a live audience. The conversation covers everything from deconstructing linear conceptions of history to traffic jams on 880. Original music for this episode was produced by Mark Pantoja.

We're all used to being 'on the clock' and ruled by it. But a new book by Jenny Odell takes on the very idea of time in our lives. "Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock" is Odell's follow-up to her best-selling title, "How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy." Jeffrey Brown sat down with her for our arts and culture series, CANVAS. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

"What first appears to be a wish for more time may turn out to be just one part of a simple, yet vast, desire for autonomy, meaning, and purpose." -Jenny Odell Join us for an evening on long-term thinking with a talk & reading from Jenny Odell and conversation with Long Now's Executive Director Alexander Rose. Artist and writer Jenny Odell brings her acutely insightful observations to the dominant framework of time, based on industrial and colonial worldviews, that is embedded within our societies. Addressing the inability to reconcile the artificially constructed time pressures of modern culture with planetary-scale crisis, she offers a series of histories, concepts, and places as "provocations that can defamiliarize an old language of time, while pointing in the direction of something else." Odell's newest book is Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock (March 02023) and her first book is the widely-read How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy (02019). Her visual work is exhibited internationally, and she's been artist in residence at Recology SF (the dump), the San Francisco Planning Department, the Internet Archive, and the Montalvo Arts Center. Previously, Odell taught digital art at Stanford University.

It's a conundrum typical of the modern condition: we've got too much to do, but too little time. Someone who thinks a lot about our use of time, as well as the basic concept of time is Jenny Odell. She's the best-selling author of How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy. She also taught digital art at Stanford University until 2021. Her latest book is Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock. But this is no self-help book. Saving Time challenges how we consider time, looks at the cultural forces that shape our conception of time, and questions how we've become so focused on mastering time. Jenny Odell is appearing at the Auckland Writer's Festival on Tuesday May 16th from 8.30pm at the Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre at the Aotea Centre.

Today, we're joined by writer and artist Jenny Odell! At the top, we discuss the recent legislation regulating social media in Utah (4:02), how these platforms affect our perception of daily life (5:20), and the relationship between time and power Odell unpacks in her first book, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy (6:41). Then, we talk about ‘productivity bros' (13:05), our culture of self-optimization (16:35), and the social inequities that shape our relationships to time (20:31). On the back-half, we walk through Odell's tools to help experience time (34:47), a historic picture of today's home office (38:22), the systemic reform she hopes to see in the US (42:15), and to close, the ways she's grown since completing hew new book Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock (49:30).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Even with all the life hacks and productivity boosts in the world, a lot of us simply feel like we're falling further and further behind in the race of life. On this edition of KCBS In Depth, we speak with Oakland-based artist Jenny O'Dell, who is asking the question, whose idea was it to make this into a race in the first place? And who's actually profiting from all this rushing around? Her conclusion: That we need to fundamentally rethink our relationship with the clock.  Guest: Jenny O'Dell, author, "Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock" Host: Keith Menconi

“I guess for me the real tragedy is this idea of a life where you're getting further and further away from something meaningful or what you want and then just watching the time, like having to sell your time in which you do something meaningless. That's deeply horrifying to me. I mean, I know that is describing a lot of jobs and work, but I think a lot of this book is me kind of poking someone and being like, hey, don't you hate that? Like we shouldn't be okay with this. You know, because I think to some degree if you're in a situation like that, there are coping strategies, or you know, you're just kind of like, well, I can't really think about that because I just need to get through another day.” So says the brilliant Jenny Odell, the now two-time New York Times Bestselling author. In 2019, she came out with HOW TO DO NOTHING, a treatise on the attention economy. Her book landed right before COVID, offering wise and trenchant insight into what happened to all. This book captured my heart. And her follow-up—SAVING TIME: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock continues the conversation, exploring the way we use our hours, whose hours count more, and what this looks like in the context of our ancient universe where time has a different measure.  MORE FROM JENNY ODELL: Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy Inhabiting the Negative Space The Bureau of Suspended Objects Jenny Odell's Website Follow her On Instagram and Twitter To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In her new book Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock, author and artist Jenny Odell explores society's relationship with time, how we measure it, and whether nature can give us a different way to appreciate the passing moments.

Our days are marked by appointments dictated by the clock. What would happen if we just walked away? Artist and author Jenny Odell joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why she believes our clock-watching is tied to for-profit goals and not the reality of nature, and to offer ways to slow down and take in the beauty of the true rhythms of life. Her book is “Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock.”

"I'm also trying to make use of how innate I think curiosity is for people, because curiosity is kind of a way towards hope… it's in that direction." Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock by Jenny Odell, author of How to Do Nothing, asks readers to look at the concept of time, how it relates to the structure of our society and how it can change the way we live our lives. Odell joins us to talk about commodifying time and leisure, the language we use to describe time, the authors and artists that have influenced her and more with Poured Over host Miwa Messer. Listen after the episode for a TBR Topoff from Marc and Madyson.      Featured Books (Episode):  Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock by Jenny Odell  How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell  Grapefruit by Yoko Ono     Featured Books (TBR Topoff):  Do Nothing by Celeste Headlee  Still Pictures by Janet Malcolm    Poured Over is produced and hosted by Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.
