Why Designing Your Time with Intention Defines Success

Most leaders fail in time management because their days are consumed by urgency instead of progress. That is why when you design your time with intention, you create the space for strategy to actually happen. Builder’s Time shows how small, deliberate shifts in how you spend each hour can transform how you build products, guide teams, and move your company forward.

A note from the author

Why I wrote Builder’s Time

I wrote this book based on my personal and professional experience in managing teams and products. And in my time management, I felt how I was constantly switching between product decisions, team questions, customer needs, and the endless stream of “urgent” tasks. While I was building a company I believed in, I rarely had the uninterrupted space to actually think about the future of the company. Weeks passed where I felt busy and present but not really progressing as much as I wanted and as much as I knew we were capable of. When we built WebWork (a time tracker that is now a fully fledged workforce management platform), I started seeing patterns across the teams. The most successful ones were those whose leaders designed their and their team’s time with intention. They treated time as their most strategic resource, not something to simply spend each day. This book grew out of that realization. It’s the handbook I wish I had when I started: a guide for founders, creators, and leaders who want to make meaningful progress without burning themselves or their teams out. That is exactly why I set out to write a time management book for leaders, to share my experience and what I learned from it over the years of working on a tool designed for time management in particular. Builder’s Time is about designing a rhythm that supports clarity, creativity, and consistent forward motion—both for you and the people and products you lead. If any part of this story feels familiar, this book is for you. I wrote it so you won’t have to learn the hard way.
