1978: The Science of Getting Your Time Back with Laura Vanderkam, Author of Big Time

We all say the same thing: I don’t have enough time.Not enough time to work, to parent, to rest, to exercise, to finally do the thing we’ve been putting off for years.But what if that story… isn’t actually true?What if the problem isn’t time itself—but how we think about it, measure it, and ultimately choose to spend it?Today’s guest wants us to completely rethink our relationship with time. Laura Vanderkam has built her career challenging the idea of time scarcity, and in her new book, Big Time, she makes a compelling case that many of us have far more time than we think—we’re just not seeing it clearly.In our conversation, we get into the real data behind how we spend our days, why tracking your time can be a game changer, and how small mindset shifts—especially around your evenings—can unlock what she calls “time abundance.”We also talk about the very real challenges of balancing work, family, and everything in between—and how to negotiate time more effectively, whether that’s with your partner, your boss, or even yourself.Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop Book to Brand.
