Summary of 168 Hours

168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think is a book by Laura Vanderkam that focuses on how to maximize one's time in order to be more productive and successful. Vanderkam explains that there are 168 hours in every week, and that the average person only spends 56 of those hours on work, sleep, and other necessary activities. The remaining 112 hours are free to use as one wishes, and Vanderkam argues that these hours should be used to pursue goals, passions, and activities that bring joy or fulfillment. She encourages readers to take control of their time by tracking their days, setting achievable goals, and being mindful of how they spend their time. Vanderkam also offers practical advice on how to be more productive and efficient with one's time.
