Hi, I’m Tiffany.

I’m a little obsessed with time.

I write about it, research it, and build things to help us understand how we’re spending it.

Right now, I’m building Time Spent for adults, TimeReady for kids and families, and writing about everything I’m learning along the way.

How I’m Spending My Time

Time Spent App

See the difference between how you mean to spend your time and how you really do.

Capture your intentions for the day, come back to how you really spent it, and see where the two aligned, where they didn’t, and what got in the way.

TimeReady

Helping kids make sense of time and gain more independence in their daily routines.

TimeReady is an app and physical product in development for families. It helps kids understand what’s coming, get prepared, and move through everyday routines with less hands-on direction from grown-ups.
The idea started with a very ordinary parenting problem: I wanted my daughter to be able to move through routines more independently without me narrating every single next step. Now I’m building the tool I wished we had.

I’m also writing about time

Time Spent is my publication and podcast about where our time goes, how it feels while we’re living it, and all the things that shape how we spend it.

Essays, research, experiments, and dispatches from whatever I’m currently trying to figure out while building the apps.

I Mistook My Job for My Career

It took a heartbreak to remember the difference.

What If It’s Not a Time Management Problem?

I tracked two weeks of my life in fifteen-minute increments. Here’s what I learned.

A little more about me

Before I started building things about time, I spent nearly a decade working in research, operations, strategy, and leadership.

Research taught me to care about the evidence. Communication taught me how to make that evidence useful outside of academic journals. Operations taught me to look at the systems surrounding a problem before deciding how to solve it. And leadership taught me how often the things we ask individuals to fix for themselves are shaped by the environments they’re operating inside.

Then motherhood, burnout, and my own increasingly complicated relationship with time made all of that very personal.

Now I’m bringing it together through the things I write, research, and build.

I live in Chicago with my husband, our five-year-old daughter, and one very old miniature pinscher. When I’m not thinking about time, there’s a decent chance I’m cooking something unnecessarily elaborate.

Can you spot the lie?

Let’s grab coffee.

I’m a big believer in talking to people you find interesting instead of waiting for a reason to. If you’re building something, want to collaborate, invite me into something, or just have a hunch we should know each other, say hi.
In Chicago or not. The coffee can be virtual.

Say hi!
