Practical but with flaws
Lots of great tips about productivity here, and I like the focused, bite-sized format. But like many people have mentioned, the host's slow, deliberate cadence is an acquired taste, and Laura does sound like an android at times. I listen to this at 1.25 or 1.5x speed and it helps! The other criticism is that some of the advice really can only be implemented by the privileged, and often the very privileged. Not everyone can simply hire and afford extra help for childcare or housework very easily, for example. In that sense, this podcast is curiously tone-deaf and oblivious to many other realities outside well-off white folks. I stick around for the mindset and perspective tips that work for me, but I'd love to find a more socially aware podcast on similar topics.Read full review »

My first Vanderkam book was “168 Hours” and my life hasn’t been the same since! So excited to see Before Breakfast being launched! A big thank you to Laura and her team.

Bite sized tips and things to think about that aren’t cliche! Love these. Keep them coming! 😊

Great content, and I like that she keeps it short and sweet. However, I find it very annoying that she seems to read and not be conversational (what I prefer in a podcast). If I wanted to be read to, I’d listen to an audiobook. I also agree with others, please change up the sponsors.
