Jay Schwedelson finally found someone who might just have the answer to his time struggles: Rebecca Shaddix. She’s not only a Forbes contributor and the force behind UCLA's Women in Tech research, but she’s also on a mission to rescue your day—90 seconds at a time. This episode isn’t about productivity hacks that require color-coded calendars or waking up at 4 a.m. It’s about the tiny gaps you already have and how to reclaim them with purpose.
