An overflowing in-box, an overflowing sink full of dirty breakfast dishes: Is this what the experts mean by 'having it all'? After organizing, prioritizing, delegating, and simplifying, some people still don't have enough time for their families, spouses, friends, or boss, much less for themselves. Veterans of the time-management wars are fighting for the life-balance ideal, and they're losing. Short of quitting work and running away from home, what can be done for those who can't keep up? The answer, says Mary LoVerde, is to reach out and connect: with loved ones, with colleagues, with yourself! Instead of wondering how to going to get it all done, listeners will master the connection solution by: 1. Using MICROACTIONS: Teeny, tiny steps towards meeting goals; 2. Rethinking RITUALS AND TRADITIONS: Preserve what's personally important, and get rid of the time-consuming things that everyone takes for granted; 3. Instituting POLICIES: Easy short-cuts sure to bring tranquility into daily life. Those who are concerned about the quality of home life, work life, and inner life are about to discover that connection works better than the fanciest daily planner anyone could ever fall for. Toss out the to-do lists. It's time to Stop Screaming at the Microwave...and connect!
