I'm Michael Kovnat and I'm Rufus Griskom. And this is the next big idea. Today, what is time abundance and how do you get it? Michael, it is so nice to have you hosting today's podcast. Who did you talk to this time?

Rufus, I'm glad to be here. This time I talked to Laura Vanderkamp. I think you know her. She's pretty much the queen of time management. She's written 10 books or so on that subject, which is a lot.

And I know the topic can sound a little dry, time management, but she's genuinely one of the more interesting thinkers in that space. She's got a new book out called Big Time, and her take is that most of us are walking around telling ourselves this story. The story is we've got no time, we're slammed, we're overwhelmed. And yeah, I get it, a lot of us are in fact busy.
