Summary: For over twenty years, Alan Henry has written about using technology and productivity techniques to work and live better for publications such as Lifehacker, The New York Times, and Wired. But he found that as a Black man he didn't have access to some of the more powerful ways to hack your job--like only checking email once a day or blocking out time on your calendar to do deep work. In fact, he found that even when he landed a prestigious title at the Times, there were moments when he was still overlooked and excluded from the most interesting and career-boosting work. This led him to first explore these struggles in a Times piece titled "Productivity Without Privilege." Now he goes even deeper, interviewing experts across multiple fields to come up with powerful tools to overcome the forces of marginalization. In Seen, Heard, and Paid, Henry shares the new work rules that may finally allow people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ folks to have the same access to career advancement and rewarding work as those with more privilege.

The real tools for career success and work satisfaction for anyone feeling undermined or marginalized at their job, from a productivity expert and editor at Wired .

For over twenty years Alan Henry has written about using technology and productivity techniques to work and live better for places such as Lifehacker , the New York Times , and Wired . But he found that as a Black man he didn't have access to some of the more powerful ways to hack your job-like only checking email once a day or blocking out time on your calendar to do deep work. In fact, he found that even when he landed a prestigious title at the Times, there were moments when he was still overlooked and excluded from the most interesting and career-boosting work.

This led him to first explore these struggles in a Times piece titled "Productivity Without Privilege." Now he goes even deeper, interviewing experts across multiple fields to come up with powerful tools to overcome the forces of marginalization. In Seen, Heard, and Paid , Henry shares the new work rules that may finally allow people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ folks to have the same access to career advancement and rewarding work as those with more privilege, including-

How to Be Seen- Only spend time on work that gets you attention.
How to Be Heard- Figure out your unique contribution.
How to Get Paid- Data is power and power is money.

Whether you're dealing with microaggressions, trying to get the glamour work instead of the office housework, weighing the plus and minuses of working remotely, or deciding it's time to look for a new opportunity, Seen, Heard, and Paid will help you feel informed, supported, and empowered.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-267) and index.
