Hello and welcome to The Upgrade, the podcast from the team at LifeHacker, where we help you improve your life one week at a time.

I'm Alice Bradley, editor-in-chief of

Lifehacker, and today I'm joined by our video producer, Tassine Heider. Hi, Jaseen. Hi, Alice.

To-Sin, this week we are tackling a problem that we all have, which is time management.

We are, and I'm actually really excited about this because guess what?

I could use the help.

Seriously, sometimes by the end of the day, I don't understand what I've been doing with my time

and why nothing has gotten done, which is why this week we're getting help from Tiffany Dufu,

founder and CEO of the crew.

I constantly ask myself what I call my drop-the-ball question,

which is a fill-in-the-blank of what matters most to you

and your highest and best use and whatever the thing is.

Tiffany has served as president of the White House project,

was a launch team member of Lean In,

and was named to Fast Company's League of Extraordinary

Women. Currently, Tiffany is CEO of the crew of peer coaching platform for women. She's also the author

of the book, Drop the Ball, Achieving More by Doing Less, which is a combination memoir and

how-to for time management. I'm really looking forward to talking with Tiffany because she's also a working mother

and I'm just ready to be a sponge to take in all of her advice.

What do you need help with, Tassine?

Where are you struggling?

Well, the biggest one is overcommitting myself.
