10 lessons from the book Do Less: A Revolutionary Approach to Time and Energy Management for Busy Moms by Kate Northrup:

1. You don’t have to do everything. It’s impossible to do everything, and it’s not necessary. Let go of the need to be perfect and focus on doing the things that are most important to you.

2. It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to say no to requests from others, even if they’re friends or family. You don’t have to overextend yourself.

3. Delegate and outsource. If you can, delegate or outsource tasks to others. This will free up your time so you can focus on the things that are most important to you.

4. Take breaks. It’s important to take breaks throughout the day, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Get up and move around, or do something that you enjoy.

5. Take care of yourself. It’s important to take care of yourself both physically and mentally. Eat healthy foods, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly. Also, find time to relax and de-stress.

6. Don’t compare yourself to others. It’s easy to compare yourself to other moms, but it’s important to remember that everyone is on their own unique journey. Focus on your own journey and don’t worry about what others are doing.

7. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you need help, don’t be afraid to ask for it. There are many people who are willing to help, including your partner, family, friends, and neighbors.

8. Let go of perfectionism. Perfectionism is a recipe for burnout. It’s important to let go of the need to be perfect and to accept that good enough is good enough.

9. Be present in the moment. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, but it’s important to be present in the moment and to enjoy the time you have with your children.

10. Remember what’s important. At the end of the day, what’s important is that you love your children and that they love you. Don’t get caught up in the small stuff.
