Time is a strange thing. Though it always continues on, it sometimes feels as though it moves quickly and other times slowly.

In work, sometimes it's easy to manage our time and what we can fit into a few hours or a day. Other times it gets away from us — leaving us frustrated and unsatisfied.

These are some of the attributes of time that fascinate Laura Vanderkam and drew her to build a career out of writing on the topic.
