Welcome to The Broad Experience, the show about women, the workplace and success.

I'm Ashley Milne Tite.

This time, my guest says women have bought into a story, a dark tale that says we can't have

have senior jobs and a thriving family life.

We just don't have time to make it all work. But she says beware of scaling back.

If people are thinking about taking an 80% schedule, I would caution against that because it is

quite possible to slack for 20% of the time and still get paid for it.

Coming up, how women with big jobs manage their time

and what the rest of us can learn from that.

During the fourth episode of the broad experience,

I met someone regular listeners have come to know.

Financial Times columnist Mrs. Moneypenny believes women can achieve whatever they want.

It all comes down to choices.

Whatever your ambition, it is very unlikely that you will achieve it if you don't put some time into it.

There are 168 hours in the week.

There's a great book, by the way, in the States called 168 hours,

which I highly commend to you.

You need, as an ambitious person, forget ambitious woman,

to take that 168 hours and use it wisely.

The author of that book, 168 hours, is Laura van der Kam.

She's become a well-known writer on time management and productivity.

She has a new book out, and it's all about women.
