She starts her day by hammering down cups of tea.
Then, a perfectly timed shower and the ability to walk to the train while watching Question Time.
That sort of how Annabel Crabb does it.
The mother-of-three, columnist, author, political journalist, kitchen goddess, podcaster and presenter of ABC TV’s ‘Kitchen Cabinet’, is the latest subject in our podcast “I Don’t Know How She Does It.”
Annabel and Julie Bishop
This is the podcast for anyone who has sat at home eating breakfast cereal for dinner while typing away at work and thought “there must be a better way to do this.”
If she wasn’t already busy enough, Annabel recently published a book called ‘The Wife Drought – why women need wives and men need lives’.
How on earth does this woman do it? She uses every scrap of the day – like an Italian farmer uses all the pig – but also has a golden rule.
Tell us, Annabel. Tell us how you do it all and still end up smiling at the end of the day.

How does she do it?
Live in Nanny (and house big enough to have a spare room) and Lawyer salaried husband who has flexible work hours. I reckon I could "do it all" too with this kind of privilege in my life.
I don't mean to sound bitter, I like Annabel Crabb very much and good for her that she has this money and support, (honest), but the majority of us cannot afford this kind of lifestyle and these kind of articles/podcasts make me roll my eyes because they always focus on privileged women. If my partner asked his work if he could work from home, they'd laugh in his face. There are no flexible hours for either of us, either. He's grateful to have his job, and I'm grateful for mine, but we're not all lawyers and authors/TV personalities, most of us are people with regular jobs just trying to provide for our kids and have a happy life.
Mamamia, I'd love some features on women that get so much done in their day with NORMAL jobs and average households, where the solution isn't dependent on being wealthy.
i have serious respect for annabel crabb.
