If you balance many hats in life, this is a great read to help you successfully manage it all!Posted onVerified Welcome to Non-Overwhelm!: Conquering biz and life chaos, starting today: A 7-Step Formula for Work-Life Balance This enjoyable and easy read contains a proven 7-step formula, as well as other really good solutions and strategies for creating "non-overwhelm" (a term the author coined) in every area of your life, whether it's office work, house work, paying taxes, meal planning or even TV watching.For decades and decades here in the United States, to call yourself a workaholic has not only been socially acceptable/respectable, it's been a form of self-boasting. The unspoken message is that if you aren't working more than 40, 50 or 60 hours a week, you're just not working hard enough. Winners work. Losers take vacations and weekends off.It's refreshing to see the beginnings of a paradigm shift in our country's culturally warped, unbalanced work-work ethics and values by reading authors like Kathie York who advocate for a healthier, calmer, and overall better quality of life, work-life balance.In Welcome to Non-Overwhelm, York writes of her own "journey of calm" and how she learned the burnout lesson the hard way. After years of professionally working her fingers to the bone, her mind and body began to break down. She underwent a series of invasive medical tests, then was prescribed three weeks of forced bed rest.From practical time-saving and peace-of-mind-producing tips for things like record keeping and weekly scheduling, to permission not to load the dishwasher at night when you'd rather be reading, York's delightful personality on the page, combined with her encouraging and validating words for those of us who strive for more"non-overwhelm" in our lives makes this book a resource to turn to again and again.Katrinna CherieSheffield, AlabamaPosted onVerified Welcome to Non-Overwhelm!: Conquering biz and life chaos, starting today: A collection of gold nuggets One of the most obvious benefits of this book is that it lives up to its title - it's not an overwhelming read. Brief, yet filled with practical tips and advice.I have tried time blocking my calendar many times in the past without much success - but I like Kathie's tip of sticking with your calendar for a week no matter what, and instead of changing it midstream or ignoring it, make notes as to what didn't work. Then for next week, adjust your blocking based on your notes. Then rinse and repeat until you get a schedule that works for you.Lots of other topics in here as well mind you. Something for everyone!Posted onVerified Welcome to Non-Overwhelm!: Conquering biz and life chaos, starting today: My Journey to Non-Overwhelmed Begins Today As the author states, setting up your business and life to achieve a state of not being totally overwhelmed by everything takes time. It's a process and Kathie carefully and clearly lays out a path you can follow to get to that state of peaceful harmony with yourself. The author's experience and expertise in project management are put to good use in this easy-to-read ebook. Sprinkled with humor and her own personal trials and struggles in achieving a non-overwhelmed life, Kathie seems more like a personal friend guiding your forward and not like a demanding coach barking out orders. She leads by example - do as I do not do as I say. I highly recommend this easy-to-read yet very practical guide to structuring your life and business so that you don't feel constantly overwhelmed.
