About the book
Laura Vanderkam starts from the fact that a week holds 168 hours and looks at where they actually go. Rejecting the idea that modern life leaves no time to spare, she reports what she learned from interviewing dozens of successful, happy people. They allocate their hours differently, scheduling the important things first, concentrating on their strengths and on tasks no one else can do, and letting lesser priorities absorb any shortfall. Vanderkam contends that eight hours of sleep, exercise on five days and pursuits such as piano lessons or a novel can all fit without shortchanging work or family. Her method is to begin with a blank slate and cut back on television, laundry and other less fulfilling tasks.
Seth Godin endorsed it, noting that Vanderkam asks readers to think about life hour by hour rather than day by day and that she lives by that idea herself.

We so often live our lives day by day. Laura wants us to think about doing it hour by hour. Living this mantra by example, she gets more done in a day than most of us do in a week.
