Laura Vanderkam is one of the world’s leading experts on time management. She’s a New York Times bestselling author, a researcher who’s studied thousands of real people’s time logs, and a mom of five who understands how quickly your own needs disappear from the calendar.
Laura explains why “me time” is usually the first thing to get sacrificed - and why that’s not a personal failure.
“Me time” is optional, flexible, and only affects you, so it gets pushed aside by work, family, and responsibilities that feel more urgent.
Laura's research shows that doing something for you (choir practice, a bowling league, or book club) on a regularly scheduled night makes "me time" more doable.
This episode isn’t about squeezing one more thing into your week.
It’s about building self-care in a way that doesn’t collapse the moment life gets busy.
