Who needs more hours in the day? I am sure if not all, most of you just raised your hand. I think we all try to shove as many activities as we can into one day. It doesn’t matter if you are a stay-at-home parent, work full or part-time, we are all guilty of trying to get as much as possible done in 24 hours. Sometimes, we even forget that we have to make time for those silly activities like sleeping and eating. I am sure you are like me in the fact that there have been numerous occasions where you wished you had more hours in the day or had a machine to multiply yourself just to get your ever-growing to-do list done. If you can relate to any or all of what I just said, then I have a book for you. I know what you are thinking, I don’t have time to read. But trust me on this one. You deserve and need to find some time to read this book.
Breaking Busy by Alli Worthington is well worth finding the time to read. Breaking Busy uses biblical principles and humor to show you how to break your busy and gives you permission to say no to things. By saying no to things that does not bring you joy to your life, you will have more time do things you actually enjoy doing. It also gives some great decision making skills and tips. By using these decision making skills I was able to finally chose the specialization and path to take with my career. I can now focus in on the items that either bring me joy or necessary to keep going down the path that God created for me.
I highly recommend reading this book. I think if not all, the majority of us say yes to way too much. I know I was guilty of this. I never wanted to let anyone down or make anyone else feel bad so I would just say yes to pretty much everything anyone ever asked of me. Then I would practically collapse at the end of the day and wonder if I if I even did anything that was important to me and brought me joy. Or did I just spend the whole day doing tasks for everyone else because I was just too afraid to say no.
