Today I’m speaking to Julie Morgenstern, who is the author of five books including the New York Times bestsellers Organizing from the Inside Out and Time Management from the Inside Out.
We’re going to drill down into the topic of parenting, and ways you can organize your life to bring out the best in your child AND in yourself. We get into a framework she’s developed to do this from her new book, Time to Parent, and you know how we love frameworks here on the Productivity Show.
