How to find hidden time in your schedule (for real)
The standard 24-hour day feels like it’s getting shorter and shorter. We’re all chasing expert hacks or miraculous tips to carve out an extra 60 minutes into our schedule—often to our detriment. Sleep four hours a day so you can fit in yoga and reading before work? Sure. Drink smoothies for every meal so you don’t have to worry about meal prep or waiting in restaurant lines? Doable, but definitely less delicious. While these strategies can result in time saved, they also compromise your health and wellbeing. There’s no reason you can’t sleep a full eight hours and feel like you have enough time to accomplish everything you want to. There are moments in your day that could possibly be re-aligned to your most productive hours. Instead of experimenting with extreme measures, try four simple tweaks to your routine in order to identify hidden time in your schedule. You may only save ten minutes here and there, but in aggregate, these pockets of time add up.

How to ‘manage up’ and gain real influence at work
As I’ve progressed further along in my career, the importance of being able to manage upward has become clearer to me. Because, at its core, managing up isn’t just about the way you interact with your supervisor. It’s so much more. It’s about taking control of your own career, regardless of your title or level within the company. It’s about not letting other people dictate your career path. The skills used to manage up aren’t just good for the boss-employee relationship. They’re also incredibly valuable in helping you build influence across your organization and elevate your career.
