AN OVERFLOWING IN-BOX...AN OVERFLOWING SINK FULL OF DIRTY BREAKFAST DISHES...IS THIS WHAT THE EXPERTS MEAN BY "HAVING IT ALL"? You've organized, prioritized, delegated, and simplified, and you still don't have enough time for your family, your spouse, your friends, your boss -- much less yourself! You're a veteran of the time-management wars, fighting for the life balance ideal -- and you're losing. So, short of quitting your job and running away from home, what do you do when you can't keep up? The answer, says Mary LoVerde, is to reach out and connect -- with loved ones, with colleagues, with yourself! Instead of wondering how you're going to get it all done, you'll master the connection solution by Asking FOUR SIMPLE QUESTIONS: A new way of figuring out what to do next Using MICROACTIONS: Teeny, tiny steps to propel you toward your goals Rethinking RITUALS AND TRADITIONS: Preserve what's important to you and your family, and get rid of the time-consuming things that everyone takes for granted Instituting POLICIES: Easy short-cuts sure to bring tranquillity into your daily life Making a MEMORY JAR: One of many creative ways to connect If you're concerned about the quality of your home life, your work life, and your inner life, you're about to discover that connection works better than the fanciest daily planner you'll ever fall for. Toss out the to-do lists -- it's time to Stop Screaming at the Microwave...and connect!

Most women think that the only way to manage the mounting chaos in their lives is to take control and organise, organise, organise. No wonder we have such overwhelming to-do lists that leave us feeling exhausted and powerless! But in I USED TO HAVE A HANDLE ON LIFE BUT IT BROKE, Mary LoVerde has a better idea. Showing us that the opposite of control is not chaos but contentment, LoVerde demonstrates how to counter the natural urge to assume responsibility for everything. In place of frustrating and futile controlling strategies, she gives readers straightforward techniques for maintaining their energy and keeping their balance no matter what life throws their way. Recognizing that we often confuse control with power, LoVerde delineates six solutions that will help women change from striving for control to thriving with true power: - Pose good questions - Pay attention - Predict your Achilles' heel - Partner with women - Pause before judging - Position yourself
