I Know How She Does It: How Successful Women Make The Most of Their Time

“Having it all” has become the subject of countless books, articles, debates, and social media commentary, with passions running high in all directions.

Many now believe this to be gospel truth: Any woman who wants to advance in a challenging career has to make huge sacrifices. She’s unlikely to have a happy marriage, quality time with her kids (assuming she can have kids at all), a social life, hobbies, or even a decent night’s sleep.

But what if that’s not the whole story? What if all those tragic anecdotes ignore the women who quietly but consistently do just fine with the juggle?

Instead of relying on scattered stories, I Know How She Does It adds hard data to the debate. Based on hour-by-hour time logs from 1001 days in the lives of working mothers earning at least $100,000 a year, this book shows how these women spend the 168 hours that every one of us has each week.

Case studies and interviews document how women make time to advance in their careers, enjoy family activities, and pursue their own passions.

Based on these strategies, I Know How She Does It offers a framework for anyone who wants to thrive at work and life.
