ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am grateful to everyone who helped make this book possible.

Thanks to Leah Trouwborst and the team at Portfolio for shepherding yet another book from idea to finished product, and to Emilie Stewart of the Emilie Stewart Literary Agency for representing my projects.

Thanks to Ardyn Nordstrom for her assistance designing and analyzing the time-diary study on which Off the Clock is based. I am particularly grateful to all the busy people who took time out of their lives to complete the survey, and to everyone who was willing to share their stories and the details of their schedules.

Thanks to Nancy Sheed and the team at Sheed Communications for all their help with marketing this book and my previous ones.

Thanks to Sarah Hart-Unger for devoting many hours to launching and cohosting the Best of Both Worlds podcast, and to Phyllis Nichols of Sound Advice Sales & Marketing for producing it.

Thanks to Katherine Reynolds Lewis for holding me accountable to my ideas for the past few years.

Thanks to my blog readers and the audience members at my speeches, who have provided valuable feedback on what time-management strategies work in real life.

As I work to manage my own time, I’m grateful to Gabrielle, Jess, my parents, and my mother-in-law for their help with the kids and home life in general. And thanks to Michael, Jasper, Sam, Ruth, and Alex for making all my hours more meaningful.
