About This Book
What if balancing a demanding career and a full personal life is not as impossible as everyone claims?
Time management expert Laura Vanderkam collected hour-by-hour time logs from 1,001 days in the lives of women earning at least $100,000 a year — and the data upended the conventional narrative. Rather than sacrificing sleep, relationships and joy, these women worked split shifts, scheduled date nights, exercised regularly and spent real time with their kids. They fit the pieces together like tiles in a mosaic, without rigid schedules that would kill spontaneity. Vanderkam, author of What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast, turns anecdote into evidence.
I Know How She Does It is for any professional woman who has been told she must choose between ambition and a life well lived. Grounded in hard data rather than horror stories, it offers concrete strategies drawn from women who are quietly — and consistently — doing just fine with the juggle.
