Do any (or all) of the following phrases sound like you?
"There aren't enough hours in the day."
"My anxiety is through the roof."
"Sometimes it's hard to stay focused."
"I'm overwhelmed by my schedule."
"I feel like I'm short-changing my kids."
"I'm all over the place."
"I don't have the energy to do it all."
"I don't have enough time for my relations."
The problem isn't lack of time. The secret to achieving more actually lies in doing less. It's almost a radical thought in our over productive society, which forces the more-is-better philosophy on all of us. The idea of less can seem wild, but it's backed by science. Being out of balance can have significant effects on all aspects of your life.
