My husband is always accusing me of being well too busy but I only got a score of 11. Will have to retake the test during my busy week- the first week of each month. And next September will all of my things and new committments start rolling. What a great post. My husband is always accusing me of being well too busy but I only got a score of 11.

But I know I"m busier than the 8 shows because I sure could use the massage Carrie mentioned, I have had a gift certificate from my hubby to get one for almost a year and still haven't found the time to call for the appointment. YIKES! I only scored an 8, mostly because my work is so part time.

I scored only a 5 on this, but the main items I noted were that sometimes I don't want to take the "time" to take a deep breath (what is THAT?!) and also carrying tension in my shoulders. A massage sounds pretty darn good right now! <br /><br />That book sounds really interesting. Thanks for being willing to share with us what you're learning! Amy,

Much of my stress comes from home life and blogging/writing work. My full time job is actually pretty easy-going. Seems backwards, doesn't it? <br /><br />I'm glad you received some valuable feedback in yesterday's post. That's the great thing about blogging - it provides an awesome community between authors, readers and other bloggers. We can all use a pick-me-up from one another every now and then! I scored 13.

It's funny, having a one year old has defintely increased the chaos in my life, and sometimes the stress gets the best of me-but at the same time, my daughter helps ground me and reminds me that many of the things I am stressing over aren't that important in the long run. <br /><br />I am definitely going to check and see if my library has this book, and look forward to your feedback after reading it. It is definitely helpful to trade time management tricks/advice as we all probably could learn from each other and I am finding what worked for me prebaby isn't working now. <br /><br />In the meantime, I'm attempting to gain control and clarity through my planner. I find listing everything out helps me prioritize and when things get overwhelming it is easier to prioritize (and postpone or eliminate) when everything is written out in front of me.

I could also have applied it to my homemaking job too, if that is what you feel fits better with you and what you are needing help with! <br /><br />Stephanie- I understand, the projects can be all-consuming, can't they? If I start making a mental list, I can lose my mind :)<br /><br />I will share as much as I can about this book for those who can't get it from the library!!
