The Frantic Woman's Guide to Life is a goldmine
of tips for those of us with too much going on in our
life. Whether you work at home or at the office, have one
kid or four, you can take the advice from Mary Jo Rulnick
and Judith Burnett Schneider and apply it to your own life.
This isn't a lofty guide to simplifying your life while nurturing
your body and soul, yet it's much more than just a book full
of tips on how to use baking soda. The tips are geared towards
making life easier for US-for the mom, the wife, the woman
who tries to do it all. You'll find tips to manage your day to day
activities, special "hidden gems" that are highlighted because
they are the tips that make you go " Ahhh...that could work!"
The Frantic Woman's Guide to Life is divided into the introduction-
which gets you started, and then it goes month to month. How
many times have you read an article or book on organizing and
then tried to do it all at once, then gave up when it was too overwhelming?
Tackle ONE month at a time and apply the tips and suggestions.
Don't try to change overnight. That's about as practical as the famous
cabbage soup diet-you're good to go for a month, and then you fizzle
out and return to old habits. Use this book the way it's meant to be
used, pick out the gems that apply to you, and you'll be on your way
to a simpler, more organized life. The authors have a friendly, down
to earth style that will make you comfortable listening to their advice
and you can tell they speak from experience.
