Slack: Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency by Tom DeMarco

4.0

This is an excellent book on the importance of downtime and leaving room in your schedule. It exposes the fallacy in the idea that you have to pack your schedule in order for you to get things done - on the contrary, you can do more with less on your schedule because the downtime allows you to respond to new circumstances faster. Worth reading and rereading.
