Think your time-crunched? Think again.

Laura Vanderkam wants to help you make more of your week.  In our time-starved, crazybusy world, she’s uncovered a truth that is sometimes hard to swallow— we have plenty of time for the things that are important to us, we just suck at using our time well.

Yikes.

In 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think, Vanderkam makes her case gently yet powerfully— we all could be a lot better about identifying what’s important to us and making time to do it.  I sat down with her for an interview where she shares how the successful among us make better use of the 168 hours dispensed to all of us, and how we cane employ some of their best practices.

Here’s part one of our talk: Stay tuned for part two!

morning, afternoon, evening: at-a-glance printable.

As a follow up to my last post, I’ve uploaded the printable document I’ve created to help me stay organized in the morning (who has hot lunch, who has share day, what needs to be in the car when we leave), afternoon (don’t forget sheet music for band practice, tennis rackets on fridays, grab snack to eat on the way to baseball) and evening (chores, homework and assignments due, practice piano).

I intend to enlarge and laminate this and use it like a dry-erase board on my fridge, but you could print it as-is and use it as a weekly worksheet, keeping things calm and easy during those frantic times.

More worksheets to come… a chore chart is next in my house. Definitely let me know if there are things you’d like to see!
