Off the Clock

By Laura Vanderkam

Feel less busy while getting more done

• Learn exactly what you're doing with your time, even if it scares you, by keeping a log
• Make your hours memorable by filling them with exciting moments
• Our own insecurities keep us constantly busy, so learn to free up your calendar
• Spending time with loved ones can stretch our perception of time, and may even increase our lifespan
• Accept the constraints on your time and lower your expectations
• Spend your money on enlargin pleasant experiences and minimizing bad ones
• Have time for adventures
  • Figure out where the time actually goes
  • Plan in little adventures
  • Be careful with yes
  • Slow down
  • Put friends on your calendar
