Most of us are convinced we don't have enough time. Laura Vanderkam argues that we have enough time, we just aren’t using it with enough intention. This month, we're revisiting our series of episodes on time, and how we make the most of it. We’re starting here, with the bestselling author of numerous books on time management and the host of the daily four-minute podcast Before Breakfast. 

In this episode, Jessi and Laura discuss:

Why 5 PM on Thursday is actually the exact midpoint of your week, and what that reveals about the time you're losing

How Laura has tracked every half hour of her life since April 2015, and what nine years of data taught her

The biggest time waster of all (it's not email or your phone)

Effortful fun versus effortless fun, and why doing a little of the first before the second changes everything

Why you should give yourself a bedtime, and how most adults are already getting more sleep than they think

The case for moving for 10 minutes by 3 PM every day

Why busy people need a hobby

The Friday punch list: how batching your small tasks protects your best hours for the work that actually matters
