Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans.

This is your host Sarah Hart Unger and this is a podcast where we talk all things planning

and planning adjacent.

I have a special treat for you today as I have my very good friend and podcasting partner,

Laura Vandercambe on today, to talk about her new book, Big Time, which is all about ways to

make your time feel more expansive.

And you guys know, I think planning and time management are so closely linked and so many of the techniques

that we can use to experience our time better and to do more things that we want to do with our

time, circle back to planning. So I think you will agree with me that this episode makes

total sense as to why we are covering it on this podcast. I think you'll learn a lot from Laura and I know you will love

her book. So stay tuned for this fun conversation. All right. Well, we are here with a very special

guest today. And this is, I believe, her second or maybe even third time on this show,

a huge welcome to Laura Vander Kim. Hey, thanks for having me back. I really appreciate it.

Of course. Well, I know many people who listen to Best Lead Plans already know about Laura because

maybe they also listen to Best of Both worlds, but not everyone does. So I guess can you share your

story or our story of how we got connected initially and tell them a little bit about

what you do? Yeah, so I write books about time management and productivity. And I was lucky

enough many years ago to have a person named Sarah Hart Unger pick up one of those books.

We had sort of tangentially started following each other online. I think we were both

mutually reading a particular blog. And I think I saw her in the comments and started reading her

blog as well. And I was always drawn to it because of course, Sarah does all sorts of amazing things

with her time. So I read it pretty obsessively.
