You can have it all. You can't have it all. Balance your work and your life. There is no
balance. Prioritise! Manage your time!
With so much conflicting advice and so many demands on your time, it's no wonder
you feel overwhelmed by your commitments. No matter your age, your marital or
parental status, or your profession, you juggle a lot. Work, home, family duties,
volunteer activities, your own interests and mental health - every day you face the
constant push and pull of a full life.
But having a full life isn't a bad thing, and it doesn't have to be a constant source of
stress. You'll never divide your time or attention evenly between all of your activities
and commitments, but you can discover ways to make choices and trade-offs and feel
less stressed about them. This guide brings together a variety of expert voices with a
carefully selected set of ideas for managing all of your competing interests more
effectively. You'll learn how to:
Make sustainable contributions to the most important areas of your life
