About this listen

 A practical and spiritual guide for working moms to learn how to have more by doing less.

This is an audiobook for working women and mothers who are ready to release the culturally inherited belief that their worth is equal to their productivity, and instead create a personal and professional life that's based on presence, meaning, and joy. As opposed to focusing on "fitting it all in," time management, and leaning in, as so many books geared at ambitious women do, this audiobook embraces the notion that through doing less women can have--and be--more.
The addiction to busyness and the obsession with always trying to do more leads women, especially working mothers, to feel like they're always failing their families, their careers, their spouses, and themselves. This audiobook will give women the permission and tools to change the way they approach their lives and allow them to embrace living in tune with the cyclical nature of the feminine, cutting out the extraneous busyness from their lives so they have more satisfaction and joy, and letting themselves be more often instead of doing all the time.
Do Less offers the reader a series of 14 experiments to try to see what would happen if she did less in one specific way. So, rather than approaching doing less as an entire life overhaul (which is overwhelming in and of itself), this audiobook gives the reader bite-sized steps to try incorporating over 2 weeks! This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

I really enjoyed this book by Kate Northrup, she successfully gives us practical ways to simplify your life in order to do less, to then create more. I love her relatable examples, that really drive home the messages within the book. I loved the structure of the book and how it was laid out in experiments that we can easily try for ourselves. For me, the main ah-ha moment was learning to structure my life and work around my cycle and the moon phases, this blew my mind, but also made complete sense once Kate explained it. I would highly recommend this book to any woman, but especially working mothers.

A really practical guidebook to doing less!

A book full of advice & experiments on making lists, setting boundaries, simplifying, delegating & asking for help. Many personal stories from the author & what works for her. Basic time management strategies. If you’re looking for simple foundational concepts on time management it’s a good starting point.

Basic, simple, good starting point.

The reader is doing a great job, it's a very easy one to listen to and enjoyable. But I feel like there aren't many new ideas in there.

It's OK but not really much new stuff or new ideas

Kate’s approach to time and energy management is a game changer. Her work applies to all women not just mums and I’d bet there will be a heap of men who will benefit from this insight too.

So many light bulbs for me! I didn’t want it end!

Absolute Game Changer!
