167: 168 Hours by Laura Vanderkam (Making Good Book Club)

This month for Making Good Book Club, we discussed 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think by Laura Vanderkam.

This book is all about managing your time – and specifically thinking about life as a series of 168 hour weeks – in which we get to decide how to use these 168 hours. This book is not specifically a business book, but one that there are tons of business-related takeaways.

In this book club episode, we talk about:

• How to make the most of your 168 hours every week

• The power of time tracking

• The relationship between consistency and breakthroughs

• Core competencies

• How to apply all of this to your small business

• Much more

 If you’ve ever had the thought “but I don’t have enough time to….” in your business or in life in general, this book is for you.
