The best book I re-read this year was Off Balance by Matthew Kelly. I first read this book a couple years ago, and I returned to it this year after my workaholism took a turn for the worse.

Kelly turns the concept of work-life balance on it’s head with this book, Off Balance.

Kelly argues that work-life balance is unattainable and that we should focus on work-life satisfaction instead. Because we don’t really want balance. We want satisfaction.

Through identifying my priorities and what matters most to me, I’ve been better able to make the necessary trade-offs between all of the different choices we have on a daily basis with how we spend our time.

Reading this book changed my life because Kelly doesn’t just throw out a bunch of ideas for how to live a more satisfying life. He provides a process for identifying your most important priorities (which is actually really hard to do!) and then building the core daily habits around your priorities.

Whatever your priorities, this book will help you solidify the importance of those priorities in your life, and then build daily habits that are consistent with those priorities.

This book is perfect for the person in your life who is stretched too thin, close to burnout, and not spending their time in a way that is consistent with their most important values and priorities.

That’s it for today. Thanks for listening.

Tomorrow we’re going to build on this concept of developing solid habits with a little kaizen - the key to flossing more, losing weight, saving enough for retirement, or getting out of debt.

My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the One Minute Retirement Tip.
