Author: Mary LoVerde
Working 24/7 and STILLCan't Get It All Done?
Then don't! Most women think that the only way to manage the mounting chaos in their lives is to take control and organize, organize, organize. No wonder we have overwhelming to-do lists that leave us feeling exhausted and powerless! But in I Used to Have a Hand...  more » Mary LoVerde has a better idea.Showing us that the opposite of control is not chaos but contentment, LoVerde demonstrates how to counter the natural urge to assume responsibility for everything. In place of frustrating and futile controlling strategies, she gives readers straightforward techniques for maintaining their energy and keeping their balance no matter what life throws their way. Recognizing that we often confuse control with power, LoVerde delineates six solutions that will help women change from striving for control to thriving with true power:1. Pose good questions 2. Pay attention3. Predict your Achilles' heel4. Partner with women5. Pause before judging6. Position yourselfWith her trademark sense of humor and the compassionate voice that has earned her such a strong national following, Mary LoVerde shows us that the result of letting go is not a black hole of dirty laundry and unpaid bills, but a life that is light, free, and joyful.

I really love this book. It's a great book for all the women who get exhausted running around trying to "do it all". Something to make you stop and think. You can't accomplish it all and life is too short to try. It took me a really long time to realize that and I can't help but think about how much time I've lost trying to "do it all" myself.
