We live—and work—in a world of nonstop noise.  

It’s time to reimagine how we work—together and alone–and make silence the secret ingredient. From the time we wake up, we’re texting and emailing, scrolling news feeds, and jumping on video conference calls. Work culture—at the office, hybrid, or remote—is defined by too much information and constant collaboration. There’s no time and place for thinking alone. 

In Quiet Works, McCormack proposes a simple, practical, and useful way to work more strategically, and intentionally. You will learn to: 

• Make appointments for quiet time, instead of running from it 

• Set boundaries to alert others not to disturb or distract you 

• Balance time spent alone in quiet with time together collaborating 

• Design workspaces that are conducive to quiet 

• Use tools and practices that are realistic and rewarding 

We can set the conditions for ourselves, colleagues, and organizations to slow down periodically while everything is speeding up. Quiet Works will help you become a professional who is empowered and energized to work in a better, smarter, and more productive way in today’s competitive, noisy environment.
