“This is the 168 Hours principle for work: Ideally, there should be almost nothing during your work hours—whatever you choose those to be—that is not advancing you toward your goals for the career and life you want.”
Laura Vanderkam, 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think

Laura Vanderkam
“I define “work” as activities that are advancing you toward the career and life you want. If they aren’t, then they are not work. This is true even if they appear on your work calendar or you’ve always done them,”
Laura Vanderkam, 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think

Laura Vanderkam
“if you were offered $400 million to never do the stuff of your work again, would you be bummed about it, despite your riches? If you would, then it’s time to ask a follow-up question. If you did land a windfall, and could still do the stuff of your job, what parts of your job would you change? Given that you’d never have to work a day in your life, what would you do more of and what would you shove off your plate?”
Laura Vanderkam, 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think

Laura Vanderkam
“We don’t think about how we want to spend our time, and so we spend massive amounts of time on things—television, Web surfing, housework, errands—that give a slight amount of pleasure or feeling of accomplishment, but do little for our careers, our families, or our personal lives. We spend very little time on things that require more thought or initiative, like nurturing our kids, exercising, or engaging in the limited hours we do work in deliberate practice of our professional crafts. We try to squeeze these high-impact activities around the edges of things that are easy, or that seem inevitable merely because we always do them or because we think others expect us to. And consequently, we feel overworked and underrested, and tend to believe stories that confirm this view.”
Laura Vanderkam, 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think

Laura Vanderkam
“when you focus on what you do best, on what brings you the most satisfaction, there is plenty of space for everything. You can build a big career. You can build a big family. And you can meander along a Maryland creek on a weekday morning because the day is too wild and beautiful to stay inside.”
Laura Vanderkam, 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think
