@ Elizabeth – I agree with you! I think the paying attention to what we have done is one of the big lessons I am trying to learn from Laura’s work. Otherwise the narrative of I’ve accomplished nothing-I have no time fills my head, which isn’t true.

Do you know when Tranquility by Tuesday is going to be published in the UK please Laura? I’d really like to pre-order it here.

@Jenn N – I mean, even dresses had like…holes in the middle. At Nordstrom! Who is buying this stuff??

Oh I feel you on the clothes! I’m in my 30s but I can’t find a good pair of dark wash jeans with no holes that aren’t super high rise that fit and it’s making me crazy!!! The low rise skinny jean was my sweet spot haha.

@AS – Thanks! I’ll have to check in with her. I was certainly kicking around the phrase “Tranquility by Tuesday” the summer before (2019) and then I started doing time makeovers that fall to hone which rules I wanted to turn into the canonical nine. This book has been a long time in the making…

Laura, I love your TBT posts. I went back in the archives to see how they started (am I the only person who uses the tags to find content?) and found the original post on Catherine, here:https://lauravanderkam.com/2019/10/tranquility-by-tuesday-time-blocking-back-up-slots-and-big-questions/

I’d love to know how she’s doing life now – if there’s an update to her work schedule, homeschooling more or less, etc!

@Elisabeth – thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I’m trying to fit in the things I want to do – it’s always a work in progress 🙂

@Maura – we go to Days’ Ice Cream in Ocean Grove – it’s the northern end of the Jersey shore, just south of Asbury Park.

We’re headed to the Jersey shore for the first time ever this weekend! Any recommendations? Wondering about your family’s favorite ice cream place

Reading these always calms me down. I love seeing these categorized summaries of your week and how you’re willing to use your life as a case study in how we can/should a) make time for things that are important and b) pay attention to what we’ve done (for example: making note of your time spent on the hammock). I know you’ve been preaching this message for a long time, but there really ARE a lot of hours in a week and I think sometimes we have actually fit a lot in, we just haven’t categorized/tracked it properly (and now you’re giving readers 9 specific buckets).

After a busy few weeks of renovations and 2+ months of life feeling decidedly off-kilter, this was just the blog post I needed to read.
