Dig into actionable, realistic time management strategies designed for the professional working woman that mold to you.

“How’s it going?” “Busy.” I used to say “busy” a lot. With a weird mix of pride and despair. Sound familiar? Now, I make an effort never to respond that way.

My best guy friend passed away when we were 29. In high school, we’d bonded as the new kids together sophomore year and, as adults, we were lucky enough to end up living in Boston at the same time.
