I’m so excited to share the book I recently added to my TBR! If you are a fan of non-fiction authors like Cal Newport and Gretchen Rubin, this one is for you.
Author Laura Vanderkam changed my entire relationship with time after my son was born in 2017, so I will read almost anything she writes, including her blog and Substack called Vanderhacks. She’s also the co-host of Best of Both Worlds, a podcast about work/life balance, career development, parenting, time management, productivity, and making time for fun!
Mark your calendar! Big Time: A Simple Path to Time Abundance is set to be released on May 5, 2026.
From the publisher:
Many of us have an adversarial relationship with time. We’re always trying to beat the clock–behavior rooted in a fear that time is scarce and must be obsessed over, hoarded, and ultra-optimized.
But time management expert Laura Vanderkam argues that even busy people can come to feel that time is abundant. Drawing on original research about how hundreds of real people spend their time, and her own experience of tracking her time for a decade, Vanderkam offers simple tactics for how to manage a complex life, stick with long-term projects by breaking big goals into tiny steps, and make the most of leisure time many people don’t even notice.
By turns surprising, thought-provoking, and encouraging, Big Time shows readers that the daily experience of time can be quite spacious–and that, managed well, each day’s hours can be a source of happiness and satisfaction.
