"When time management expert Laura Vanderkam hears 'How do I get more done?' she knows that what we're really asking is 'How do I accomplish the tasks I need to get done, while also finding time for the things that I love?" Over the course of her career, Vanderkam has learnt that, fundamentally, we want to enjoy our time. Hacks for getting more tasks done, faster, won't help us get there. To find happiness in each day's hours, we need sustainable, resilient strategies for building joy and possibility into our daily routines. In 'Tranquility by Tuesday,' Vanderkam shares nine rules for calming the chaos so you can live a happier, richer life, including: three times a week is a habit -- One big adventure, one little adventure -- Effortful before effortless. She share the results of her time study of 150 participants, outlining how ordinary people -- particularly those balancing work and family responsibilities -- implemented her nine rules with transformational results. You'll learn how participants successfully navigated changing circumstances and competing demands to reclaim parts of their identities and accomplish high-priority goals that typically fell to the bottom of their to-do lists. This is more that a time management book about 'how to do it all.' It's a book at how real people took control of their schedules with Vanderkam's nine rules, and how you can do the same. It's about intentionally living the life that you want to live -- and becoming a better steward of life's possibilities." --Jacket.
