In reply to Courtney Westlake. @Courtney- thanks so much! And thanks for these great tips. Of course, the receptionist probably leads with the time that's best for the office, but there may be other options. It doesn't hurt to check.

I’m so excited for your new book, and I love the topic! Can’t wait to read. I have learned SO much from you when it comes to time management, and it’s completely changed how I structure my life. Special needs parenting has also taught me a lot about time management – or how to feel like I have time for what is most important. Specifically: 1. my time is as valuable as everyone else’s. I used to take any doctors’ appointment or therapist session, thinking these people are super busy with super full schedules. Now I have the mindset that if it’s not convenient for me (ahem, during nap time? That’s a mistake I’m not making again), I ask the receptionist for more options. 2. I don’t procrastinate. I try to get things done – or at least started – right away, because I never know when an illness or health need might pop up that demands most of my time and attention and energy. 3. I have more power over my day than I sometimes I feel like, even with my kid’s health care must-dos. I have the control of figuring out what works best for me and my family and coordinating my day accordingly.
Thank you for helping me to see my days from the “thriving” side instead of the “overwhelming” angle 🙂

In reply to lauravanderkam. Ah, i wondered why it was already available on book depository! (my preferred stockist, as they have free shipping. Amazon usually have exorbitant shipping fees to Australia).

Great cover!

Have you read Give and Take by Adam Grant? It has interesting things to say about time management when it comes to giving to others.

In reply to Katherine.

@Katherine – well, I do have to write it first!! Yes, the book was released in paperback originally in the UK – but not in the US. they did about 18 months of hard cover here. Publishing is sometimes funny. Hopefully people will see the cover and pick it up…

Really looking forward to the new book, although a long time to wait for it. Interestingly I bought a paperback copy of “I Know How She Does It” quite some time ago here in the UK, but presumably different publishing rights apply in different countries. The new cover is certainly eye-catching.
