I love this! I am OBSESSED with time use/time scarcity. I wrote my first published scientific paper on it many years ago, but have been thinking about it since I was 12 and read cheaper by the dozen. I now forget what was in that book, but something in jt convinced me that brushing my teeth in the shower would give me a lifetime of minutes back. In any case, as a scientist, frequent traveler, parent, and aspiring writer, I am also constantly thinking about where I can shave off time- but I’ve never thought of it in the terms you’ve laid out. Looking forward to seeing what the MVP of your routine is!
unbelievably shook that I have to wait for part 2 of this. the audacity. part of my "I can have it all" curse is that I'm just ONE LIFE HACK AWAY from having it all.
OMG and “ As I sit here, looking at all I want to accomplish, I can’t help but wonder (in my best Carrie Bradshaw voice): is there a way to get at having it all without actually having it all?” I could hear the theme song! You brought me back!
I’ve been playing with what you wrote about (love the product management lens) for a very long time. It actually started when I became a mom, and more specifically a working mom. I remember crying in therapy about not doing enough, not giving enough, just not BEING enough.
I guess what you are talking about here was my big lesson in my 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. Now, in my 50’s it feels like a part of me, like my white hair ❣️
I’m glad you went back on your promise because this lens you brought in from your work life is actually a VERY helpful way of looking at this and might have saved me a decade (or two). ❤️
Yes! There is something about becoming a parent (abd to your point, a working parent) that 1) brings to light everything that needs to get done 2) adds 10000x more things to the plate and 3) helps filter what’s really important.
And there’s something about Carrie Bradshaw, always timeless 👠

Lindsey! I loved reading this comment — thanks for stopping by and so glad it resonated with you.
I’m off to try to find your paper!!

If I can be honest, it was just entirely too long as one. I tried to make it work but just couldn’t. You’ll have to wait, dear reader.
This is soooo good!!!
