Query:

For my upcoming book 168 Hours (Portfolio, 2010) I am seeking people who
are willing to log their time for 168 hours (one week) and then participate
in a “time makeover.” This will be largely based on what the person wants
to get out of his/her time, but could include more time to sleep, better
ways to use family time, strategies for fitting in a hobby or more exercise
time, ways to invest more in career-building, etc. The ideal people already
do a lot with their time but want to do more! I want to use these makeovers
in my book, but also in the articles I will write leading up to the
release. I freelance for a variety of places including USA Today, the Wall
Street Journal, etc. (for clips see www.lauravanderkam.com). I am seeking
people from all over the country with interesting jobs or life situations,
men and women (though I particularly need more men). Please contact me at
lvanderkam@yahoo.com. Thanks! Laura Vanderkam
