Publisher's Summary:
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!
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!

Love it!
I love this book! Whether your a Mom, business person, or just live life, it has great to the point advice of how to live more connected. My favorite part is the microaction - easy steps to to loose weight, save money, or get anything done without getting overwhelmed. It is my second time reading it.
My New Bible
I love this book. It is my new bible for living life in a warm and loving way without letting everyone suck the life out of me. I can prioritize and take time for me without feeling guilty. I have short to do lists, and I don't freak out or dissolve into tears when something unexpected happens. THANK YOU Mary Lo Verde!!!!!!
Life Balance
I read a great book on the weekend called, "Stop Screaming at the Microwave!" by Mary LoVerde. This book is not one that I would normally pick up and read, but since I heard Mary speak at an YPO event, I was duly inspired. Most of her lectures and most of the book is about life balance (one of the courses that I failed).
The interesting thing about the book is that it has a number of time management tips. I think this is great because one of the things that I often tell people when they question my high drive and push towards time management and efficiency is "good time management allows you to spend time doing what you choose to do". So if they want to be more balanced, they should stufy time management more.
One interesting vignette in her book was a story about something her daughter did and her daughter said, "You're not going to use this story in your talks, are you?" I get the same thing about blogging. You have to be careful now, I own the media.
One concept LoVerde talks about in her book are connections and the need to connect, and connecting deliberately. Again there is interesting analogies to this and business networking which she even speaks about. The gist of it is having a good number of connections can help de-stress your life.
One slide that I am adding to my time management seminar is one that Mary calls micro-actions or inch-by-inch. Instead of trying to tackle the whole project, just tackle a small part of it. Simply start the task and the rest goes from there. One example she uses in her book is, "Microactions can work in any field. My husband uses them with the high school students he counsels. Seventeen-year olds have a thousand ingenious reasons why they have not yet applied for college admission.
