If ever there was a Holy Grail for working mums it would be the power to stretch the day to fit more in. BBC news presenter Joanna Gosling hasn't found the Holy Grail, but she has compiled a long list of time-saving tips which allow mums to spend more minutes on the things that are important.
Joanna, who is our keynote speaker at Workingmums LIVE event in London in March, has just written a book, Simply Wonderwoman, which allows readers to pick and choose from a whole host of practical advice on how to do just about anything with minimum fuss. Although the book is called Simply Wonderwoman, it is not about being the perfect woman. Joanna says it is not about seeking the perfect life, but about being well-organised so you can spend more time doing the stuff that keeps you sane.
“You don't have to be perfect or run yourself into the ground," she says. "It's tempting as a working mum to feel you have to do everything, that you have to be across things. What I want to do is help people get by by passing good advice on. It's about lightening the load, not adding extra pressure or burden.”
Simply Wonderwoman is published by Kyle Books, price £17.99.
