A Working Mom's Guide Kelly Niehaus

Tired of feeling that your life is spinning out of control? In today's fast paced world, I found it hard to keep up with work and family commitments, let alone take time to have the house in order or time for myself and the things that I enjoy. Being a reader, I read many books on improving my work/life balance. The only problem was, I didn't find a comprehensive book that addressed all factors of my life. I found that while I was focusing on organizing the house, I didn't spend the time needed for work, kids or my husband. It finally came to a point when I realized a change was desperately needed; this is where my journey began. I started to explore how I could improve my work/life balance from scratch. I defined what was most important to me and the daily obstacles I faced-and I took control of my life by finding solutions to those obstacles that impacted those most important to me. This book is my first step of my journey-taking control. It documents what I did to improve, while making sure I focused on everything I determined important to me-my kids, my husband, my house, my work...and just as important, myself. Within each chapter, you will find: -My thoughts and what I did to improve, -Step-by-step suggestions on how you can improve, -Ideas to keep your balance with all you deem important while you improve, -And a favorite recipe, because I know it's not so hard to cook as it is to think of what to cook. You will also find this book is not 200+ pages because I know your time is precious and improvement is needed now-I cut through the chase and get to what needs to be done to improve. So if you feel you don't have enough time, have too much to do and are completely stressed out, please join me in my journey to improving work/life balance.
