Best Laid Plans

Ep #301: The Intersection of Time Management x Planning with Laura Vanderkam

May 4, 2026

Today, my BOBW cohost + good friend Laura Vanderkam joins me on the show to talk about ways — planning and planning-adjacent! — that we can all manage our time so that it feels expansive and worthwhile.

We discuss tracking (time + otherwise), tackling big projects little by little, the challenge of “golden hours”, and much more.

Find Laura’s book, Big Time: A Simple Path to Time Abundance, out this week wherever books are sold — highly highly recommend! I think it’s particularly perfect reading for any transitional season (heading into summer, for example) or on a trip where you’re thinking about the rest of your life.
