Offers advice on using time more effectively, including stop putting things off, nurturing support networks, and scheduling for value. - Penguin Putnam
When you stop trying to do so much, you get so much more done.
Do you put yourself under too much pressure to succeed, which only makes it harder to achieve? Are you constantly playing catch-up and struggling to find time for the things, and people, you love?
It doesnât have to be this way. Anything is possible when you stop trying to do everything at the same time.Â
Often itâs fear that keeps us stuck in our patterns. If weâre super busy then no one can say weâre not working hard. But thereâs another way to live a life thatâs both more enjoyable and more productive, if only we can break those routines.
In Do Less, Get More, entrepreneur and bestselling author Shaa Wasmund reveals that when we embrace a âless is moreâ attitude, we can appreciate all the good things we already have and find the courage to prune the nonessentials. And then we can find the space in which to pursue exciting new opportunities.
Wasmund teaches us how to become experts in the things weâre truly passionate about, rather
than mediocre jacks-of-all-trades. Her tools include exercises like:
* Escaping the âwhen, thenâ trap. Stop putting something off because youâre waiting to be ready (âIâll start my own business when my kids are out of the houseâ or âIâll lose weight when this project is overâ). Take one practical step toward what you want right now.
* Nurturing your support network: Who are the people who truly support you? Prioritize those who are genuinely on your side and practice asking for help. Focus on quality over quantity in developing your network.
* Scheduling for value: What gets put in our calendar gets done. And you shouldnât only plan for work projects: scheduling time for the people and activities you love and that give you purpose and energy is just as important.Â
This life-changing book gives you the tools to ditch your to-do list and follow your dreams. It will be your essential guide to doing what you loveâand letting go of the rest.
