How Much Work
Is TOO Much Work?
Do you find yourself saying yes to new projects and social commitments way more often than you intend to? Feeling a little frayed at the edges and wondering when enough is enough? Coaching Out of the Box®‘s own Amy Rupert was recently interviewed by the Wall Street Journal about how to recognize and manage things when work and life get full to the brim and become downright overwhelming – an issue almost all of us have come face to face with at some point.
So how do you know when to say no, or when to give yourself a break? Read the interview for some great tips on balancing everything that’s on your plate, being kind to yourself, and yes, still getting a whole lot done. (Hint: one of our favourite tips involves taking a nice loooong shower each morning.) Want more? The Wall Street Journal also featured Amy’s tips in a live interview.
