Summary
This conversational episode features a few life updates from each host (most of them very minor, but still fun to chat about). Then, Laura gets into a discussion of some of the interesting patterns she's seen in time tracking logs for her upcoming book.
Then there are 3 questions featured. The first is a physician looking to take on a leadership position asking for tips about how to present herself. Question 2 comes from a lucky couple about to have 16 weeks of dual maternity leave (both parents!). Finally, a listener with a 4 year old writes in asking about what to do in place of nap time.
