Everyone has an opinion, anecdote, or horror story about women and work. Now the
acclaimed author of What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast shows
how real working women with families are actually making the most of their time.

“Having it all” has become the subject of countless books, articles, debates,
and social media commentary, with passions running high in all directions. Many
now believe this to be gospel truth: Any woman who wants to advance in a
challenging career has to make huge sacrifices. She’s unlikely to have a happy
marriage, quality time with her kids (assuming she can have kids at all), a
social life, hobbies, or even a decent night’s sleep.

But what if balancing work and family is actually not as hard as it’s made out
to be? What if all those tragic anecdotes ignore the women who quietly but
consistently do just fine with the juggle?

Instead of relying on scattered stories, time management expert Laura Vanderkam
set out to add hard data to the debate. She collected hour-by-hour time logs
from 1,001 days in the lives of women who make at least $100,000 a year. And she
found some surprising patterns in how these women spend the 168 hours that every
one of us has each week.

Overall, these women worked less and slept more than they assumed they did
before they started
tracking their time. They went jogging or to the gym, played with their
children, scheduled date nights with their significant others, and had lunches
with friends. They made time for the things that gave them pleasure and meaning,
fitting the pieces together like tiles in a mosaic—without adhering to overly
rigid schedules that would eliminate flexibility and spontaneity.

Vanderkam shares specific strategies that her subjects use to make time for the
things that really matter to them. For instance, they . . .
* Work split shifts (such as seven hours at work, four off, then another two at
night from home). This allows them to see their kids without falling behind
professionally.
* Get creative about what counts as quality family time. Breakfasts together and
morning story time count as much as daily family dinners, and they’re often
easier to manage.
* Take it easy on the housework. You can free up a lot of time by embracing the
philosophy of “good enough” and getting help from other members of your
household (or a cleaning service).
* Guard their leisure time. Full weekend getaways may be rare, but many
satisfying hobbies can be done in small bursts of time. An hour of crafting
feels better than an hour of reality TV.

With examples from hundreds of real women, Vanderkam proves that you don’t have
to give up on the things you really want. I Know How She Does It will inspire
you to build a life that works, one hour at a time.
