I'm always encouraging people to spend less time on the things you are trying to talk yourself into.

You might want to spend a little more time on the things that you are trying to talk yourself out of.

Because, you know, it sounds logistically difficult

or it's outside your comfort zone.

I think time gets blamed for all sorts of things,

that it is not really a time matter.

You know, I mean, when I have people track their time,

often people find that they have a reasonable amount

of discretionary time.

It's just that a lot of it happens in chunks that we haven't thought about.

That's Laura Vandercam.

She's the author of several phenomenal time management and productivity books, including

off the clock, I Know How She Does It, What the most successful people do before breakfast in 168 hours.

She's known as a time management and productivity expert who shares her strategies for taking

control of your schedule so you can have more time for what truly matters.

Her latest book is called Big Time, A Simple Path, Time Abundance.

So you'll learn one, why you feel like you don't have enough time and how to change it. Two, how setting aside 15 minutes can change your whole workday. And three, how to become the ringmaster of your schedule circus. And if you'd like a summary write-up of the actionable wisdom that Laura shares, I recommend you sign up for the free gold nugget email newsletter, found at awesome at your job.com. I'm Pete McItis.

This is How to Be Awesome at Your Job.

And now here's Laura.

Laura, welcome back.

Thank you so much for having me.

I'm excited to be back.
