You Have More Time Than You Think

Book • 2010

Author

Laura Vanderkam

In '168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think,' Laura Vanderkam challenges the common narrative that people are starved for time.

After interviewing dozens of successful and happy individuals, she found that they allocate their time differently, prioritizing important activities over lesser ones.

The book provides strategies for optimizing time use, such as logging your time, focusing on core competencies, outsourcing non-essential tasks, and making the most of downtime.

Vanderkam argues that with careful planning and discipline, it is possible to sleep eight hours a night, exercise regularly, pursue hobbies, and maintain quality time for work, family, and other important aspects of life.
