I Know How She Does It: How Successful Women Make the Most of Their Time by Laura Vanderkam
3.0
Closer to 2.5 stars.
This book had some good information, but I felt like a lot of it just didn't apply to me. I didn't read anything about it before I listened to the audiobook, so I didn't realize that it was going to be so focused on higher income women with children, which wasn't what I was looking for. Based on the title alone, I expected it to be more focused on the relationship between successful women and how they manage their time, but it was very focused on specific examples of how women with children manage to have children and still work (and the answer in many cases was that they can afford to outsource various things in life like cleaning and grocery shopping.) Even if I had kids, I'm not sure how helpful this book would be overall, but there were a few bits of information that I thought were interesting and could be helpful.
