superwoman has left the building

I became my own boss so I could be in charge of my work-life balance, and this week I realized it was time to brush up on my management skills.

Have you ever had those days when everything is clicking and moving and grooving—you’re on fire with productivity? I have those days, too. When I’m drunk on adrenaline, I tell myself I can perform at that high level every day of the week. I think I am superwoman, without realizing I’m flying at lightning speed to burnout.

    Hi Angie,

    Those to-do lists can get overwhelming can’t they? I like to-be lists, helps boot stuff off the list that really belongs to other people.

    Great idea to hit the refresh key on your body, meet a friend and gobble some key lime pie (one of my favs btw).

    There’s this push to be efficient machines (i.e. robots) and multi-task and multi-speak and multi-exist. I now just uni-task so I can enjoy what I’m doing.

    Ways I refresh: dance, walk, sing, play pinball …

    As usual, great writing! Giulietta
