There are 168 hours per week. How do you find time for what matters most? Time management expert Laura Vanderkam studies how busy people spend their lives and has found that many of us significantly overestimate our commitments each week, while underestimating how much time we have for ourselves. She offers some practical strategies to help us find more time for what matters to us, so we can "build the life we want in the time we have."
