I Know How She Does It: How Successful Women Make the Most of Their Time by Laura Vanderkam

3.0

There were some good takeaways from this book (how to keep a time log and the importance of such), but the tone of the book was hard to connect with as Vanderkam’s study is mostly relatable to white collar working women making $100k+ a year. And not just that, but these women are in roles that have a ton of flexibility when it comes to running errands during work hours or choosing to work from home at times. And the suggestion and assumption that outside help will give you back more freedom (hours) to yourself or family life is nice and all, but not everyone can afford good childcare or 2x/week housekeeping. Also, I was amazed by the lack of phone/social media use by these women who kept time logs for the research purposes of this book. Lol, maybe that’s where I truly differ from these women
