The year was 2008 - I had given birth one year prior to our fourth child, was working full time, and re-enrolling in law school at night. Life was about to get real, and all I could think about was how good it felt for others to marvel at my ability to do it all.

Behind the superhuman smile, there was brokenness, frustration, regret, and so many emotions and symptoms, as a result of my desire to maintain my persona. Eventually, I came crashing down and realized that I had too much on my plate; but it was too late.

I was stuck in the rut of doing, going, and existing that I forgot all about what doing it all for me looked and felt like. It took years after law school graduation for me to get to a place where I didn't need other people to praise me for doing it all.

Instead, I started doing it all based on what I wanted for me. Who really wants to waste their 4000 weeks, anyway?

In this episode, you will learn the three strategies to doing it all when you feel that you are doing too much...

1. Being busy doesn't mean you're being effective


2. Don't underestimate time to completion


3. Limit procrastination
