Save Time And Increase Productivity With Laura Vanderkam
Manage episode 452251341 series 2638829
Think you're busy? Try telling that to time and productivity expert Laura Vanderkam.
Vanderkam is the New York Times best-selling author of eight books on time management and host of the daily productivity podcast Before Breakfast.
Her books include "What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast" and "168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think."
"We all have 24 hours in a day," she said. "And many of the things we think are happening in our lives are based mostly on impressions."
Vanderkam says the easiest way to unlock free time is to keep a time log of what you actually do in a day. Often, we think we're busier than we are and can change our relationship with the clock.
"People track their time, and they tend to realize well, maybe I do have some free time. It's probably not as much as I want, but it's some. And then once you realize that you're like well, let's figure out ways to work with this," says Vanderkam.
In this Dying to Ask:- Where we tend to waste the most time
- How to keep a time log
- Why Fridays are the best day to plan your next week
- What is "effortful fun" and why it's worth planning some
