Off the Clock: Feel Less Busy While Getting More Done by Laura Vanderkam | Conversation Starters
In May 2018, I Know How She Does It author Laura Vanderkam published her newest book Off the Clock: Feel Less Busy While Getting More Done. Most people feel that they are constantly behind. They are unsure how they can escape the feeling of being oppressed by busyness. Unlike other time-management gurus, Laura Vanderkam believes that to get more things done, we must first feel that we have been given all the time in the world. Most people have plans like reading a book or training for a triathlon but they just couldn’t do it because they feel like they don’t have enough time.
Laura Vanderkam reveals the tested principles that time-free people have learned and applied to their lives. In Off the Clock: Feel Less Busy While Getting More Done, she teaches mindset shifts that will truly help you feel calm even on the most frantic and busiest days. She equips us with tools to help us get more things done without feeling overwhelmed.
Stand Out author Dorie Clark says that author Laura Vanderkam is “one of the world's leading experts in time management and productivity.” She continued that her insights in Off the Clock “can change your life." The Productivity Project author Chris Bailey says that Off The Clock “will show you how to spend your hours more meaningfully, reclaim vast amounts of wasted time, and live a better life.”

bring us beneath the surface of the page
and invite us into the world that lives on.
