From the bestselling author of Getting Organized, an enlightening yet practical program for restructuring your life to meet the conflicting demands on your time "I should read more, I should work out three times a week, I should be able to see my child's soccer games, I should be able to do it all." Sound familiar? With a growing list of priorities to shuffle in an inflexibly short time frame and a burgeoning affliction of guilt and disappointment at not being able to handle everything perfectly, Americans are longing for a prescription for relieving the pressures of an overwhelming world.
Stephanie Winston, master of home and office efficiency and author of the New York Times bestselling classic Getting Organized, has devised such a plan. The prioritization and self-evaluation techniques in Getting Out from Under will help turn down the noise level in our heads and bring the way in which we live our lives back into line with our fundamental values. A powerful program for making meaningful change to an overwhelmed life, Getting Out from Under features the Solar System Technique, an ingenious new way to chart and pinpoint the conflicting demands on time and energy. Flash organizing tips and downshifting advice provide the follow-up suggestions for adjusting day-to-day life based on the problem areas brought to light by the Solar System results.
