Fresh Take: Laura Vanderkam on "Tranquility By Tuesday"

Laura Vanderkam is the author of several time management books, including the just-out "Tranquility by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters." She hosts the every-weekday-morning podcast "Before Breakfast" and also co-hosts "Best of Both Worlds" with Sarah Hart-Unger. She lives outside Philadelphia with her husband and five children.

Laura explains:

• How to create a "resilient" schedule
• How to start small with prioritizing the more important things
• What keeps people from taking ownership of their time

Starting small is the key, Laura says, by investigating how you currently spend your time and using that information as a launch point to move towards a more "resilient" schedule.
