It’s About Time
It’s About Time is an invitation to reflect, find purpose, and create a meaningful life.
People can gain joy and satisfaction from building healthy relationships, serving others, and living intentionally in congruence with their values and purpose. However, too many people are caught up in busy schedules and the frantic pace of their lives to consider whether they are headed in the right direction. Before they can use their time to create a meaningful life, they must first determine their most important purpose and priorities.
It’s About Time provides a framework for reflecting, thinking about life purpose, and finding real meaning. In this useful resource, motivation and guidance are provided to help individuals practice positive thinking, avoid and eliminate distractions, harness the power of habits and self-discipline, and maximize productivity and effectiveness. The value of time is discussed in depth, including its relationship to work, money, relationships, personal growth, and the peace and joy that people all over the world are trying to find.

Hillier’s insights encourage reflection, responsibility, and purposeful living, offering practical advice to help you align your time with your deepest values and goals.

My partnership with Chris has been incredibly rewarding and inspiring. Through all the years I’ve known Chris, he’s proven his integrity and humility while demonstrating a relentless work ethic. He is one of the absolute best in his field and a very humble but extremely effective leader. His talent, capabilities, and influence have my unending respect. He’ll continue to inspire many with his new book, It’s about Time.
–Greg Williams, co-founder, chairman, and CEO at Acrisure
Chris is one of those rare individuals you come across who makes each interaction positive and encouraging; you walk away motivated and instructed. He is not unlike many of us who manage competing demands for our time, weighing family, faith, professional, and community efforts, and in Chris’s case fitting in the late-night game of hockey or occasional afternoon on the golf course. His thoughts on this topic come from his learned and lived experiences and I find the concepts and instruction in It’s about Time to be so very worth . . . well . . . your time.
–Jason Standifird, healthcare operational and finance executive/board member
How we spend our time defines who we are, and Chris’s work is a powerful exploration of how to decide who we become. He masterfully guides us through the complexities of envisioning, prioritizing, and operating our lives, transforming the concept of time from an elusive abstract into a tangible ally. It’s about Time is a must-read for those of us seeking a life of purpose and intention and having a deep and fulfilling appreciation of every moment.

It’s about Time establishes itself as part of the immortal canon on the eponymous matter, replete with sage advice and inspiring missives perfect for anyone seeking to better manage their most precious, finite resource. Chris inspirationally guides us down practical paths that lead to a more meaningful life of impact and happiness.
–Chris Klomp, tech entrepreneur, board director, and investor
I first met Chris when he was a graduate student at Stanford University. He was hand-selected from an elite group of remarkable students for a “start from scratch” project. I instantly found Chris had the rare balance of intellect, insight, work ethic, and faith-based character the professor knew I would admire. The professor was right! Reading It’s about Time and feeling his heartfelt passion proved to me how grounded, principled, and caring Chris remains, despite his success in life. Combine these factors and Chris is the perfect candidate to guide others as they pursue a life of greater purpose and meaning. It is an honor for me to endorse Chris and It’s about Time as he shares his accomplishments and wisdom.

It’s about Time is for anyone focused on productivity and effectiveness in their personal or professional life. Chris skillfully integrates essential entrepreneurial traits like discipline, focus, and passion with qualities such as humility, integrity, and compassion.
–Joel Peterson, former chairman at JetBlue, chairman and founder at Peterson Partners, director at Franklin Covey, author, and adjunct professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business
It is said that “time is the great equalizer.” Drawing from his personal and professional experiences, Chris offers crucial insights that inform, encourage, and challenge us to make the most of our time. It’s about Time is an essential and highly recommended read!
–Seth Denson, business & market analyst, best-selling author, and national TV commentator & contributor
There are many voices in the world that you could listen to, each offering this or that bit of conventional wisdom while promising far more than can be delivered. Chris has written a book that defies that sad norm, one that goes beyond the surface platitudes and invites you to reflect carefully on your priorities, your goals, and what truly matters in life, business, and relationships. When he was in college, I coached Chris on the ice and taught him in the classroom. Reading It’s about Time, however, I now found myself to be the student as Chris’s invaluable insights and experiences repeatedly challenged and enriched the way I think about time and purpose.
–Edwin E. Gantt, PhD, professor of Psychology, Brigham Young University
Why is it that despite all the progress, advancements, and developments society has made, people are becoming less health, less happy, and less satisfied than ever before? In large part, the issue is how people are using their time. They complain about how little time they have while functioning as if their time is limitless. Too often, they’re distracted from what truly matters in life and looking for fulfillment in things that can’t truly satisfy. But that can change today!
It’s About Time encourages you to explore the relationship between time and everything else - work, money, relationships, and productivity - to improve the quality of your life at work and at home. It’s About Time can help you develop the power of habits and self-discipline to further your effectiveness, while avoiding and eliminating distractions. With a framework built for personal reflection, this practical guide provides real-life recommendations to help you find purpose, use your time to achieve that purpose, and maximize the meaning you experience in your life.
