'Tweet. If you haven’t read Sheryl Sandberg’s book Lean In , you probably should. It’s an entertaining and insightful read that raises as many questions as it answers about the challenges women face in the workplace.

'In the past when I would evaluate my schedule in an effort to optimize my time , I would consider only the working hours of the day. For me, this is between 7:30a-5:30p. During those hours, I timeblock my schedule including reading/research time , set times to process email , time to plan for the upcoming day and more. Though I thought about what I wanted or needed to get done outside of those hours, I rarely scheduled it, with the exception of personal appointments.
