LWD Book Club ~ June 2019

June 1, 2019 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

I’m tired of feeling as though I don’t have enough time for the things I want to do. According to this month’s LWD Book Club selection, by tracking my hours for a full week, then evaluating and prioritizing, I’ll have plenty of time. I guess we’ll find out if that’s true.

168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think

168 Hours

It’s an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. We tell ourselves we’d like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals. But then we give up because there just aren’t enough hours to do it all. Or if we don’t make excuses, we make sacrifices- taking time out from other things in order to fit it all in. There has to be a better way…and Laura Vanderkam has found one. After interviewing dozens of successful, happy people, she realized that they allocate their time differently than most of us. Instead of letting the daily grind crowd out the important stuff, they start by making sure there’s time for the important stuff. When plans go wrong and they run out of time, only their lesser priorities suffer. Vanderkam shows that with a little examination and prioritizing, you’ll find it is possible to sleep eight hours a night, exercise five days a week, take piano lessons, and write a novel without giving up quality time for work, family, and other things that really matter.

 


What’s better than curling up with a good book and a delicious cup of tea? And when the tea is named “Reading Nook“? Perfection.

    I hope the book gives you lots of helpful advice, and would love to hear about your attempts to put any of it in to practice you consider worth trying.
