Laura Vanderkam is the bestselling author of time management books such as What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast, Off The Clock, and 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think.
Newly published this year is Laura Vanderkam’s latest book, Juliet’s School of Possibilities: A Little Story About the Power of Priorities, which takes her collected wisdom about time-control and turns it into a memorable and engaging fable.
Her 2016 TED talk, “How to Gain Control of Your Free Time,” has been viewed more than 5 million times.
