This book represents my journey from time management to time metamorphosis.
It is a gentle step-by-step guide that helps you control your experience of time and use it in a way that consistently supports you and the highest vision of your life.
You can finally drop all the archaic views and limitations of time that have held you back from fully embracing the wild beautiful truth: time is not a defined line; it is instead a vibrant, completely moldable, layered, multi-faceted work of art that is in
your artistic hands to create and design, each and every day. Creating Time is a fascinating adventure where you'll not only imagine and create but completely reshape the way you think about
your own time, using art, science, and imagination as powerful catalysts for lasting change. -- Marney K. Makridakis

Reviews
From the Book's Foreword by Marci Shimoff: Creating Time is a heart-centered-yet-practical guide that offers a new paradigm
of time and the tools to implement it. Marney Makridakis has devoted her career
to helping people live fuller and more meaningful lives by connecting with their
own creativity. In this unique and enchanting book, she shows us how to use our
creativity to experience a new relationship with time. Marney’s brilliant techniques
combine art and philosophy, science and story, to help us connect deeply with the
power of our creative selves. By accessing that part of our selves, we go beyond our
normal ways of thinking and are able to experience time in more empowering ways.
-- Marci Shimoff, New York Times bestselling author of
Happy for No Reason and Love for No Reason
"Everyone wants more time, and time multiplies when you read this brilliant book! Creating
Time is life changing, full of practical and magical ways to feel free, flowing, inspired,
and gifted with time in your life.”
— SARK (Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy), bestselling artist and author of Glad No Matter What
"This book is the magical and mirth-filled solution we’ve been waiting for to fit more of
what we truly love into our lives. It brilliantly combines science, philosophy, and art in a whimsical package that is both practical and
fun to read.”
— Jill Badonsky, author of The Awe-Manac
"Marney's work sails beyond time-management into creating time, appreciating
time, and replacing conditioned anxiety with magic. I never thought I’d experience joy in looking at time. But I felt expansive as I read this, tickled, curious, and loved. These right-brained techniques can help you uncover an
exquisite abundance even in your left brained world."
— Tama J. Kieves, author of This Time I Dance! Creating the Work You Love
"Imagine you had a wise and wonderful friend who could show you simple, yet artful and fun ways to forever change your relationship with time. Wouldn’t that just be the best gift ever?For those of us who are always running out of time, who feel the daily pressure and stress of "not enough time," this book will expand your mind, open your heart and YES, give you all the time in the world." - Arielle Ford, bestselling author of Wabi Sabi Love
"When Marney's book arrived, I thought, 'Pshaw! There is no way to find more creative time.' It took maybe ten pages before I was rejoicing. Marney has done the impossible - created a plethora of joyful ways to transform how you see, experience, and create with time. This book is the time machine you've been waiting for." - Jennifer Louden, author of The Woman's Comfort Book and The Life Organizer
"In a society that seems to thrive on making us feel hurried and harried and pressed for time, this book stands firmly in the conviction that we have more time than we think we do and that we’re entitled to every delicious minute of it. The farthest thing from a straitlaced ‘time management book,’ Creating Time is an artful collection of practical tips, creative exercises, and philosophic ponderings for making the most of every hour and, subsequently, making the most of your life."
— Victoria Moran, author of Creating a Charmed Life
“If time has become an obnoxious bully in your life, read Marney’s beautiful book and you will discover dozens of creative ways to turn time into an uplifting guide.
I particularly love her ways to intuit the synchronicities in one’s life and for really imagining time as a unified flow.” — Seena B. Frost, founder of SoulCollage®
"If you've ever wished for more hours in a day (and who hasn't?), Marney Makridakis' magical book Creating Time is for you. Her wise insights, creative exercises, and inspiring artwork will empower you to say so long to scarcity and stress and hello to freedom, focus, and flow. Now, isn't it about time?" — Jennifer Lee, author of The Right-Brain Business Plan
