John Thomas Littlejohn is a time management consultant and executive coach who has spent more than fifteen years helping busy professionals take their weeks back without taking themselves out. He is the founder of Reclaimed, a training and coaching practice that has led time-optimization programs for Fortune 500 companies, healthcare systems, and growth-stage startups. Over the course of his career, he has conducted more than four thousand time audits—the raw material for the strategies in this book.
His client work revealed a consistent pattern: people who were successful by every external metric and quietly exhausted by all of them. *Time Reclaimed* grew directly out of that observation, and its methods have been tested in real calendars across finance, technology, healthcare, and government, in offices and on shop floors, and with executives, frontline managers, and working parents alike.
John is a frequent speaker at leadership and professional-development conferences, where he is known for practical workshops that leave attendees with a changed calendar by the end of the day. He writes a free weekly newsletter, *The Reclaimed Week*, on sustainable productivity and the art of the respectful no. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and two children, and he practices what he preaches: Friday afternoons are reserved for his family, he reads about forty books a year, and his own Sunday-evening weekly review is the ritual that keeps his system honest.
