b"My guest today is author, productivity guru, and mom of 5, Laura Vanderkam. Laura is the author of several time management and productivity books, including the one we are discussing today, Tranquility by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters. She is also the host of the Before Breakfast podcast and the co-host, with Sarah Hart-Unger, of the Best of Both Worlds podcast.\\xa0\\nI\\u2019ve long been a fan of Laura\\u2019s books, and so I was excited to talk with her about Tranquility By Tuesday, and honestly, since reading it, I\\u2019ve started incorporating a few of her strategies into my world as I try to be more mindful and aware of how I spend my time. The results have been pretty great. That\\u2019s why I wanted to share Laura\\u2019s work with my community because I know so many of you are dealing with overwhelm and burnout. And my hope is that you\\u2019ll take away one or two nuggets that you can play with in your daily life to move the needle closer to tranquility.\\nDuring our conversation, Laura shared her definition of tranquility, the common myths that get in the way of building more peace in our lives, and why it\\u2019s so important for families to have adventures together. She also shared multiple strategies that I promise are easy enough to implement. And again, even though they might seem like small shifts, they can have a big impact in your world.\\nLaura is the author of several time management and productivity books, including the forthcoming Tranquility by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters.
