Speaker 1: Hi. I'm Laura Vanderkamp. I'm the author of several time
Speaker 1: management books, including the brand new Juliette's School of Possibilities,
Speaker 1: Off the Clock and A hundred sixty eight Hours. I'm
Speaker 1: also the host of I Hurt Media's newest podcast, Before Breakfast.
Speaker 1: Every weekday morning, I'll be sharing a quick productivity tip.
Speaker 1: It will help you take your day from great too awesome.
Speaker 1: These are strategies that worked for me, for people I admire,
Speaker 1: and that I've learned from all the feedback I've received
Speaker 1: over the years from listeners like you. I care about
Speaker 1: time because life has lived in hours, and what we
Speaker 1: do with our lives is going to be a function
Speaker 1: of how we spend our hours. I've reviewed thousands of
Speaker 1: time logs in the last ten years since i started
Speaker 1: exploring people's habits. I'm fascinating by people who are successfully
Speaker 1: combining rewarding careers with fulfilling personal lives, whether that's raising
Speaker 1: happy families, being involved in their communities, doing some sort
Speaker 1: of crazy athletic endeavor on the weekend, or all of
Speaker 1: the of what I've learned from studying the schedules of
Speaker 1: successful people is that life is not either or you
Speaker 1: can throw yourself into work you love, doing what you
Speaker 1: can to make the world a better place, and nurture
Speaker 1: your relationships with the people you love and take care
Speaker 1: of yourself too. Everybody's life is different, but I believe
Speaker 1: that in the hundred sixty eight hours we all have
Speaker 1: each week, they're truly a space for what matters to us,
Speaker 1: and so we'll be covering it all work, family, friendships,
Speaker 1: personal passions. I can't give you a twenty in the day,
Speaker 1: but just like that first cup of coffee, each episode
Speaker 1: is going to help you feel like you can take
Speaker 1: on the world one productivity tip at a time. So
Speaker 1: start your work day with Before Breakfast, available each morning
Speaker 1: Monday through Friday. Find it on Apple Podcasts, the I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts to gather.
Speaker 1: We're gonna feel less busy while getting more done. M
