I Know How She Does it by Laura Vanderkam


  • Vanderkam analyzes a hefty number of time entry journals from high-achieving women with children.  From these logs Vanderkam shares common trends she identifies and strategies for maximizing the limited time we have.
  • The author breaks down how the women spend their time.  Surprisingly, they do not spend as many hours at work as one might expect.
  • Vanderkam looks at what is the best way to spend time.  For example, tidying the house is not enjoyable and will only need to be done again in a day.  There is likely a better option for spending that time.
  • The book focuses heavily on children and childcare.  One nearly missing blind spot is on time for the relationship between spouses.
