The concept for this book came about because of the frustrations and conflict routinely expressed by female coaching clients; There is so much to do and so little time.
There have been many articles and books that focus on time management written by men who don't understand female biology or female socialization. Having read books by many male authors, it's clear that they have one or more women doing a considerable amount of work for them -- essentially taking care
of them. Is it any wonder that the time management books that are out there don't work well in relieving the pressures working women routinely face?
In examining this time management dilemma it became apparent that what these women were experiencing were not typical issues. Rather, they were trying to be all things to all people and had neglected their own priorities in the process. For the majority of women there is an underlying problem.
The theme all these women appear to dance to is: Just Because I Can, I Think I Should.
Despite long days and a never-ending series of ways for her to improve, these women continue to seriously undermine their health, their family life, their careers and important relationships. Something needs to be done.
From the perspective of the time-strapped woman, it was decided to reduce the content into valuable insights and ways in which women can quickly put the new insights into practice. For a complete explanation of the insights within this book, you are encouraged to purchase, "When Doing It All Won’t Do: A Self-Coaching Guide for Career Women" by Barbara McEwen and John Agno.
Both books are dedicated to all those hard working women who are willing to embrace liberating change.
