Working people, especially career moms, believe they can do two things at the sa
me time. This belief doesn’t end, even when the children are out of the house. Baby Boomers really have a focused concern around overwhelm, especially since the idea of women “doing it all” was so promoted in the 60’s.
- Rethink your expectations of how you’ll really spend your time
- Go for attainable goals everyday, living within your values
- 24 hrs. isn’t a lot of time; only plan about 80% of your day
- Delegate, delete, do what you can
Overwhelm is possible to control, but first you have to be realistic about what is possible. Leave time for the unexpected and make the changes necessary for you to control your time. Time controls itself.
