Women are mostly caught between balancing work and family. Here are 8 lessons from the book "Do Less: A Revolutionary Approach to Time and Energy Management for Busy Moms" by Kate Northrup:
1. Less is more. The more we try to do, the less we actually accomplish. When we focus on doing less, we can be more present and effective in the things that we do.
2. Let go of perfectionism. Perfectionism is a major source of stress and anxiety. When we let go of perfectionism, we can free up our time and energy for the things that are truly important to us.
3. Say no. It's okay to say no to requests, even if they come from people we love. When we say no, we are protecting our time and energy so that we can focus on the things that are most important to us.
4. Delegate. If we can delegate a task, we should do it. This will free up our time and energy so that we can focus on the most important things.
5. Take breaks. It's important to take breaks throughout the day. This will help us to stay focused and productive.
6. Take care of ourselves. Eating healthy foods, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly are essential for our physical and mental health. When we take care of ourselves, we have more energy and are more productive.
7. Simplify our lives. There are many things in our lives that we can simplify. By decluttering our homes, minimizing our commitments, and focusing on the things that are truly important to us, we can free up our time and energy.
8. Be grateful. Gratitude is a powerful emotion that can lead to greater happiness and fulfillment. When we are grateful for what we have, we are less likely to focus on what we don't have.
