作品简介
不要放弃细碎的时间，少量时间也能带来乐趣。将核心竞争力之外的事情交给别人做，或者忽略、最小化这些事情。现代社会一个毋庸置疑的事实是：我们的时间不够用。随着双收入家庭、极限工作和一天24小时、一周7天无间断工作方式的兴起，生活疯狂到我们喘不过气来。我们告诉自己：我们希望读更多的书，定期去健身房，尝试新的业余爱好，达成各种不同的目标。但是随后我们却放弃了，因为我们根本没有时间去做所有的事情。
万德坎姆在书中向我们阐述了，幸福和成功的人与混日子的人之间至少有一个关键性的区别，那就是幸福的人尽量多地把他们的168小时都花在核心竞争力上。找寻核心竞争力需要我们记录一周168小时。一旦你找到核心竞争力，你就可以停止无谓的焦虑，开始客观地看待数据，然后着手掌控生活，获得最充实的168小时。

Introduction of works
Don't give up small moments. Small moments can be fun. Delegating things outside of your core competence to others, or ignoring or minimizing them. One indisputable fact of the modern world is that we don't have enough time. With the rise of two-income families, extreme work and 24/7 work, life is so crazy we can't breathe. We tell ourselves that we want to read more books, go to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and reach various goals. But then we give up because we just don't have time to do everything.
Vanderkam explains that there is at least one key difference between happy and successful people and those who muddle along: happy people spend as much of their 168 hours as possible on their core competencies. Finding our core competencies requires us to log 168 hours a week. Once you find your core competency, you can stop worrying about nothing, start looking at the data objectively, and then take control of your life for the most fulfilling 168 hours.
